Azusa Pacific had dropped the sport in 2020 after 55 years and Whittier in 2022 after 115 years, mainly for financial reasons. The two schools are among 10 four-year colleges and universities that started or re-started programs this season, the most in a single year since 2013, according to the National Football Foundation.

‘It’s time to try something new’ City Council hears why residents want ferry service to City Island

Earlier this month, a recently introduced bill was evaluated by the City Council to determine if ferry service should be expanded to City Island. NYC Council committee held a public hearing in the wake of a newly introduced bill, Introduction 1032-2026 (Intro 1032) on Tuesday, Oct. 20, which would potentially result in a City Island ferry landing.
