Termination of football program

Fort Scott Community College terminated its football program on Nov. 8, 2021, just a day after the season ended with a 65-2 loss to Independence in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference playoffs. The college cited rules changes concerning out-of-state roster limits and scholarship funding that were enacted in 2016 among the reasons for cutting the program.[2] The Greyhounds played their first game in 1923 and finished with an overall record of 448-428-23.
