I agree that dropping Hofstra’s longstanding football program is a travesty for the University, its current and future students, alumni and the LI and Metropolitan area community.
I am committed to working with all who support a reinstatement of the program.

I am a Hofstra Football Alum from 1970. My brother Lou played on both the Tiny Twenty and 1959 undefeated team. He has written 2 books concerning Hofstra Football, appeared on ESPN and knows a very large nucleus of Hofstra football alum from the late 50′s and early 60′s. Lou and Mike D’Amato with the financial support Bruce Metzger was to have a an historical athletic center at Hofstra named for him. Lou is a human dynamo, you should tap into his passion and love for Hofstra football. Harry Royal, former AD and class of 1970 also could be a huge asset as could Mike D’Amato, class of ’68. We shouldn’t go down without a fight; and we should fight in a unified way. We should also scrap the “Pride”; there is no pride in a school that would turn it’s back on a 72 year tradition. Let me know how I can help.
