Although football at LMU had roots in St. Vincent's College since 1898, the Loyola University team competed as an independent against teams from the Pacific Coast Conference and the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Conference from 1921 to 1951.

Even though we haven't had an official football team since 1951, LMU students continued to host intramural games well into the later 20th century, as seen here in 1991. This photograph comes from our University Archives collection.

This documentary examines the business of college football and basketball and the NCAA's treatment of its athletes. Weaving interviews with archival and behind-the-scenes footage, the film sheds a new light on all college sports programs.

As the first African American player to be drafted by the NFL and the first African American to play quarterback, George Taliaferro was a trailblazer. This book tells his story and profiles the experiences of other athletes of color.
