From 1960 to 1963, the Hardin–Simmons football program compiled a combined record of 3–35–1 and was outscored by a total of 999 to 313. In January 1964, the university trustees ordered the elimination of the university football program. The chairman of the board said the move was necessitated by "financial difficulties and losses" in the athletic program.[2] The school did not field another football team for 27 years.
