Former programs
Football
Seton Hall first fielded a football team in 1882, with an initial success that was interrupted in 1906 when the university decided to drop the program. After a brief comeback in 1913, the sport would be prohibited the following year. It was not until 1922 when football was reissued by the university, with a 30-0 victory over Cooper Union. The Pirates became an official NCAA team in 1973.[4]
The sport's second stint at the school came in Division III. After several years of poor success, football was dropped in 1982.[12][5][4]
Wrestling
The sport of wrestling was sponsored by the school until 2001 when the school decided to drop varsity sponsorship for financial purposes.[13]
