New football programs - ColinApocalypse - 01-26-2017 09:21 AM
We have seen an explosion of new football programs over the last few years, and Michigan is no exception.
Siena Heights, Concordia, Finlandia, and Davenport have all established football programs over the last 5 years or so. And now Lawrence Tech has announced their intention to start a program:

I think it's cool to see all these new opportunities for guys to continue playing football at the next level.
What do you guys think?

Agree. Also more college coaching opportunities for those looking for them.

If you want one of those shirts, i Think Calvin College may still do those and brag about their undefeated status

Unbeaten, untied, unscored upon.
Still virgins.

I work at Concordia. The new football program also brings a big school feel to the campus and has opened up the opportunity to start a new marching band program as well. It gives kids a chance to keep playing and students a reason to get excited about their school. Best wishes to LTU. My Glen Oaks Community College Football shirt is still relevant: undefeated since 1965!

I drive by the concordia stadium every day. Nice looking place, glad they painted the barn.

Agreed on both. The stadium is a nice front door for the campus (and it adds a bit more parking). I just wish they would build an elevated walkway over Geddes, as it can be a bit treacherous to cross.

Talk about clickbait. I was expecting to see what cool new look our programs would have this year.
