Grinnell College football season cancelled due to player injuries

Grinnell is a member of the Midwest Conference which is most notable for being the conference where former Big 10 member Chicago now competes in football.

Grinnell has made the decision to withdraw the football team from competitive play for the rest of the season to protect the health and safety of its student-athletes. Team members have received numerous injuries this season, leaving 28 players on the 39-member roster healthy and qualified for play.
Over the 2019 schedule, the team has compiled a 0-3 record. The seven remaining games are considered no-contests, in accordance with NCAA rules, beginning with the Oct. 5 game against St. Norbert. The Pioneers have been outscored 114-3 in that time frame.
In one of those contests, the game was actually shortened. Grinnell played at Lake Forest in Week 2 and the third and fourth quarter were shortened by mutual agreement to 10 minutes apiece.
Such program cancellations are not unprecedented in Division III football. Occidental pulled the plug on its 2017 season after three games for similar reasons.
The Pioneers returned 15 starters from last season's team, and was expected to field a relatively veteran roster this season.

Grinnell is a college? I thought it was just a street in Key West.

Very selective liberal arts college. Most of the students probably aren't aware there's a football team.

Tennessee should've done this.

Grinnell is a high end liberal arts college. Big time academic school with a massive endowment.

Just looked this up. Their endowment is $1.992 billion, in comparison LSU's is $845 million.

They do have a strong interest in basketball, though.
It's a pretty little campus. I honestly had no idea they fielded a football team.

They went from 10-0 in 1998 to canceling football due to roster size in 2019.
Life comes at you fast.
