In their seventh and final season under head coach Clark Shaughnessy, the Maroons compiled a 2–6 record, finished in last place in the Big Ten Conference, and were outscored by their opponents by a combined total of 308 to 37. Chicago's two victories came against Oberlin and Шаблон:Cfb link. Against stronger opponents, the team was soundly defeated, 85–0 against Michigan, and 61–0 against both Ohio State and Harvard, 47–0 against Virginia, and 46–0 against Illinois.[1][2]
Chicago was ranked at No. 434 in the final Litkenhous Ratings for 1939.[3] The 1939 season was described in the press as the worst season in Chicago Maroons football history. The school's academic demands had greatly reduced the personnel available to field a quality football team, and the Maroons had not won a game against a Big Ten opponent since 1936.[4]
In December 1939, after 48 seasons of competition, the University of Chicago's board of trustees announced that, the school would no longer field a football team.[4]
