After nine years, the Florida Institute of Technology's football program is coming to an end.
The move was one of several cost-cutting measures the university announced Monday as a result of the economic fallout of COVID-19, according to News 6 partnerFlorida Today.
Along with termination of the football program, college officials said in a news release a series of impending staff reductions and furloughs, along with the closure of the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts, were necessary to "meet the financial challenges" caused by the pandemic.
