Before forfeiting the season, the Occidental Tigers had been outscored 170-19 this season.
DC:
The mediocre private liberal arts college that President Barack Obama attended from 1979 to 1981 — before wisely transferring to Columbia University as a junior — has canceled the rest of its current football season due to a shortage of players.
The school, Occidental College in Los Angeles, forfeited two of its first five games because its football team only has “around 35 players, including one healthy defensive lineman,” according to CBS Sports.
Occidental is an NCAA Division III school that competes in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference — with the likes of Whittier College, the University of Redlands and some Claremont Colleges consortium schools.
A single year of tuition, fees and room and board at Occidental costs $67,806. A four-year stint at the fancypants bastion of liberal arts costs $271,224.
Occidental College president Jonathan Veitch said the decision to cancel the football season “was not made lightly.”
“No one wanted or expected the season to end this way. Making this decision now provides needed clarity to players, their parents, coaches, and other SCIAC members,” Veitch said in the statement obtained by USA Today.
“This decision falls hardest on our players and coaching staff, whose competitive spirit has never waned. I want to commend first-year Oxy head coach Rob Cushman for his character and grit, having been thrust into the most challenging of circumstances this season,” Veitch also said.
Before forfeiting the season, the Occidental Tigers had been outscored 170-19 this season.
A male student athlete at Occidental College filed a Title IX lawsuit in 2014 after a pseudonymous female student accused him of rape and he ended up expelled.
Yet they had 475 folks that wanted to hold the pom poms and lead cheers….
You can’t name 2 things he’s touched that haven’t turn to kaka. And that includes the magnificent Mooch.

i’m not taking HIS word for anything, especially where his college experience is concerned……
Geeze, gay ex-presidents and pseudonymous female students; no wonder they can’t field a football team.
By the way, what the hell is a pseudonymous female????
in 2050 America Badminton will be National Pastime ….
right after the National Women’s Sumo Wrestling League
Football is a waste of resources. I’ve said this for decades.
It’s just a way to get stupid people into college that have no business being there.
Barry’s fond memories of Snuggling at the ball game with Mr. Mustachio, watching Balls fly and Screaming Score are all but fond memories now !
“By the way, what the hell is a pseudonymous female????”
A female too cowardly to publicly accuse someone else of a serious offense, under her own name.
“By the way, what the hell is a pseudonymous female????”
Please tell us it doesn’t involve more duct-taped male genitalia….
About Obama’s “wise decision” to transfer to Columbia. You said that as if there’s nothing unusual about transferring from a podunk West Coast private school to an Ivy League school. How often does that happen, or better yet, how often does a white male manage to swing something like that? I always thought you were admitted right out of high school or you’re left out in the cold.
I did well at ASU my first two years and it probably would have been a wise idea to transfer to Stanford. But the very idea of that would have been laughable — completely outside the realm of possibility
ALLEGEDLY attended.
