Talk:MIT Engineers football

This is seriously broken. The citation for how old the team is references the sport of Rugby -- entirely different.

I'm not sure of the history offhand. They didn't have a team when I was there in the '70's, and were proud of it.

I'm sure we can dig up some relevant citations in the archives of The Tech. Bob Kerns (talk) 00:13, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Ah, it seems The Tech didn't pay football any mind until they started winning. The answer is to be found on the MIT News website and the New York Times

I've edited accordingly to remove the rugby-based info. I'll remove the founding date-related categories in a separate edit. Bob Kerns (talk) 00:56, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

It would be good to add the pre-1900 history, and their undefeated 2014 season, NEFC championship, and ultimate 2nd round defeat in the Division III NCAA championships. This source can start you on your way Prepare for the Playoffs: An MIT Football Primer
