Northeastern Huskies football
The Northeastern Huskies football program were the intercollegiate American football teams for Northeastern University located in Boston. The team competed in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and were members of the Colonial Athletic Association. Northeastern participated in football from 1933 to 2009, compiling an all-time record of 289–366–17. Citing sparse attendance, numerous losing seasons and the expense to renovate Parsons Field (its football stadium in neighboring Brookline) to an acceptable standard, the university Board of Trustees voted on November 20, 2009, to end the football program. According to president Joseph E. Aoun, "Leadership requires that we make these choices. This decision allows us to focus on our existing athletic programs."

Notable former players
Among notable players for Northeastern were Cincinnati Bengals tight end and Pro Bowler Dan Ross; Green Bay Packers lineman and Pro Bowler Sean Jones, Pittsburgh Steelers linesman Keith Willis and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Darin Jordan, Miami Dolphins Drafted 4th round 1997, Baltimore Ravens & Arizona Cardinals Offensive Lineman Jerome Daniels; New England Patriots Tight End Matt Lengel, who caught his first career pass for a touchdown December 24, 2016 and won his first Super Bowl on February 5, 2017.
