AUGUSTA, Georgia -- Paine College’s football team returned to the field in 2014 after being dormant for five decades. Now, the program is being shut down again.Several Paine players, including Lions freshman linebacker Harry Davis Jr., posted on Twitter about the program’s fate Friday evening.
Davis confirmed during a cell-phone conversation he was told the news by the coaching staff about 8:30 p.m. A message left with coach Greg Ruffin was not returned. “It’s very devastating to all of us, especially on short notice,” Davis said. “It’s not even about the program, it’s about the players, my teammates. Everyone is distraught about it.” Davis couldn’t confirm whether expense is the main reason for the college shutting down the football program.
