Players move on after Hofstra dumps football

NCAA Football Betting Lines

09/02/2010 -

NEW YORK (AP) -For 84 former players at Hofstra, the start of this football season is bound to come with some mixed emotions.

Last December, the school abruptly announced it was eliminating football, leaving players with eligibility scrambling.

Some transferred and at least six have even wound up at major college programs. Others have dropped to Division III or another FBS school.

The players say they still resent what happened.

Defensive back Keith Ferrara says ``it felt like someone died in my family.''Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
