 In 1909 several veterans of the FSC Eleven founded a city team named the Tallahassee Athletics, but this folded after one season.Except for this, until 1947, Tallahassee's only organized or collegiate football team were the team from the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes (now Florida A&M University).The end of World War II brought enormous pressure on the university system in Florida, which saw an influx of veterans applying for college under the GI Bill.
