Menlo College, a private institution in California, announced Sunday that it is dropping intercollegiate football. Menlo, with only 750 students, is a small college to field a football team. It played in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, and was the only member of the NAIA in California with a football program and one of only four within a 700-mile radius of the campus.

The NAIA looks to gain another member in football, however. Clarke University, in Iowa, announced that it is starting up a program. Clarke, a former women's college where 70 percent of students are women, hopes to attract more male students with football.
