North American University Discontinues Stallion Football Program

STAFFORD, Texas – In a decision that comes with great difficulty and careful deliberation, North American University (NAU) announces the discontinuation of its football program. This move, supported by the Board of Trustees, reflects a strategic shift in the university's investment toward areas that uphold and enhance NAU's core mission.

"This was a difficult decision, backed by the Board of Trustees, that aims to direct investment to the things that make North American University exceptional," said NAU Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Kenneth Apande. "Our goal is to still compete in the eight NAIA and USCAA sports that will remain an integral part of the NAU experience."

The Stallions football program has provided student-athletes with the opportunity to compete at a high level while representing NAU on and off the field. While this chapter comes to a close, the university remains committed to fostering excellence in its remaining athletic programs, ensuring that student-athletes continue to thrive in competition, academics, and character development.

North American University extends its gratitude to the players, coaches, staff, and supporters who have been part of Stallion Football. The legacy of dedication and perseverance will continue to inspire the entire NAU community.
