Junior College Football Going Away In Arizona

Junior college football will soon be a thing of the past in Arizona, Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher announced it will end its program after this season.

Earlier this year, Maricopa County Community College District announced it was ending all four of its football programs after this season — Pima Community College and then eventually Arizona Western College followed suit. This has effectively dissolved the Western States Football League.

The Show was joined by Dr. Christopher Parker, executive director of the National Junior College Athletic Association, to talk about it.
