It would be the final season of varsity football at St. John's for over four decades, as on April 29, 1931, the board of trustees announced that the football program would be dropped at the conclusion of the 1931 season for financial reasons. [2] Football returned as a student-operated club sport in 1965 and became a varsity program in 1978 before being dropped again in 2002 due to Title IX concerns.
