Was this an official Butler team?[edit]

@MisterCake: The Butler football media guide (here) indicates the school's football program began with the 1887 season. Do we know whether or not this was an official Butler team? Cbl62 (talk) 03:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't but I figured it was and will see if I can look more into it. It's not unheard of to have an ancient game before the program really kicks off. Centre comes to mind. Cake (talk) 04:47, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wabash certainly thinks it's the same Butler. Cake (talk) 00:19, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
