History
Cheyney' football team has seen no success in the past 30 years, the team endured an astonishing 13 winless seasons since 1990. A record as the most winless seasons in NCAA Division II history. After the 2017 season was finished, Cheyney discontinued their football team and are withdrawing from the PSAC and Division II for the 2018–19 season and will play that season as an independent, presumably at the NCAA's lowest level.[2][3][4][5]
