Seven years ago, the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors were 12-0 and set to play against the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl. That moment is the pinnacle of Warriors' football.

It's reached the point where Hawaii football could cease to exist in the near future.


Quote"There's a very real possibility of football going away," University of Hawaii Athletics Director Ben Jay said at a Board of Regents meeting Monday.

Since head coach Norm Chow took over the program in 2012, the Rainbow Warriors are 4-20 overall. In 2013, the team finished 1-11. And the team's lack of competitiveness isn't the biggest concern surrounding the program.

According to Jay, the university's athletic program will operate at a $2.1 million deficit this season and it has done so 11 of the past 13 years.

June Jones was 76–41 at Hawaii, including 4–2 in bowls.
