The football program is officially staying at Michigan Tech. I started this because I felt lost, but you all turned that frustration into a real outcome that belongs entirely to you.

On Tuesday, March 18, 2003 Michigan Tech announced the elimination of the football program citing state mandated budget cuts. This was done without consulting alumni, coaching staff, or current players. By signing this petition you acknowledge that this decision was wrong and you support allowing the pursuit of alternatives.

I honestly never thought we would reach one hundred names this quickly. It is truly humbling to see that so many of you care about this team as much as I do.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about this team. If everyone here sends this link to just a few friends right now we could reach that one thousand mark by tonight.

Seeing the count climb toward one hundred has been completely overwhelming for me. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who cared enough to step up and speak for the team. If we can reach that mark today we will show the administration exactly how much this program means to all of us.

MTU football is a huge part of the campus culture. Cant believe they just cut it without asking anyone first. Bring it back!
