SFU announced in April 2023 that it was shutting down the team effectively immediately.

The school had one more season remaining at the time in a Texas -based conference.

There was pushback from alumni and the football community at large, and the school agreed to hold off on a final decision.

Football at SFU dates back to 1965 and produced several CFL stars.
