The Raven file for January 22, 1999

The issue: The Carleton Ravens football team may be gone for good, as the university’s director of athletic services recommended it be axed.

What’s new: Former Raven football players are developing a counter-proposal to keep the team on the field.

What it means: Ottawa could be left with one prominent football team – the Ottawa Gee-Gees.

What’s next: Carleton’s athletic department stops taking feedback on the recommendation Jan. 29, and university president Richard Van Loon will decide the team’s fate by mid-February.
