Long Beach State 1991 was the last year, and Fullerton State was 1992.
E-mail is over 40 years old founded in 1971.
Bitnet in the 1980s is an email based program created for education or schools to use.
ARPANet was the forerunner of Internet.
Microsoft have an email program in their Windows Dos program in the 1980s.
MCI also had a program in the 1980s.
Yes, academics had a wide range of use of emails through the 1980s. Usually between departments and inside departments including the athletic's department.

"Email is over 40 years old" I didnt get my first email account 1996. 21 years ago. I had never heard of it until that year. I call bull ship David

Yep, although it may have "been around" before 1995, virtually no one used it prior to then. 1996 was also the exact year we first started using email. I worked for a US government agency then, and that was the first year everyone started using email. Heck, we were using typewriters and typing out memos in the early 90's.

That's what I thought.
I called Bullship DaveySt, and I stand by what I said. I don't believe there's any emails regarding Fullerton etc dropping football.

That site listed MIT implemented an email type program back in 1965. It evolved through the years where the military was using the type of emila back in the 1970s. Not everybody got an email until like the 1990 to early 2000s, but the US government and government run schools used them as early as the 1960s. Schools like Long Beach State and others would have such programs in place before any of us would.
