In January 1951, Duquesne president, the Rev. Vernon F. Gallagher, announced that the school had decided to suspend its participation in intercollegiate football. As reasons for the suspension, the school cited the manpower shortage resulting from the Korean War and noted that the school had suffered "heavy financial losses" from football over the last four years. The school did not resume competition in the sport until 1969.
