Columbia was 6-4 last year and 8-2 in 2017, so they have improved greatly in the last couple years.

Columbia's stadium and other outside athletic facilities are a fair subway ride away from campus.  Not only does that discourage student game attendance, but it means the team has to take a bus to practice every day (or at least it used to). 

Don't knock going to an FCS game.  At least you won't hear these words so much:  "full media timeout"

I had the chance to have a few conversations with Columbia's former football coach and Silicon Valley's original coach Bill Campbell.  Very interesting guy.  Didn't have much to coach with, though he made All-Ivy his senior year at Columbia.  But he was a local legend of sorts, coach to Silicon Valley stars.
