Texas Wesleyan has lost more than a third of its football team after its first season in 75 years.

Fifty players from last year’s 1-10 squad (the one victory was by forfeit) will not return, including nine because of financial reasons.

Coaches and administrators say the turnover is part of NAIA football, where scholarships are limited to 16 and players endure unglamorous bus rides for road trips and play in stadiums likely smaller than what they had in high school.

Because coaches had only 16 scholarships to spread among their 131-man roster, many players applied for federal student aid — grants, loans and work-study — to cover the annual $43,664 cost at Texas Wesleyan.

Somehow I don't think there are going to be too many broken hearts in Colorado.
