Washington moving training camp to Richmond... does it help VCU get football.

Redskins moving training camp to Richmond...

Very interesting.

I would imagine they'd select City Stadium as a natural location (for many logistical reasons). According to the article, the state was involved in this move and provided $3M, I would find it hard to believe that VCU would not entertain this possibility.

I don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell that VCU picks up football now.

They are really thin on cash - just paid huge exit fee, lost revenue from excellence pool, and entry fee to A-10. Shaka salary is very large...not to mention they moved to a conference that does not even sponsor football...where would their team play? Stadium? Donors?

I don't think it's even a remote possibility at this point.

Too bad they didn't add football when we did they might have taken Charlottes place in the CUSA.

This was news on the VCU boards about a year ago, I believe. Funny to see it come up again.

While I loathe VCU's fanbase with every fiber in my being, they are quite passionate and support their premier program. With a stadium available, young and energized fanbase, and alums that are doing pretty well (except the budding Van Gogh's of the world), I would think the economics for a 1-AA team are doable.

Unlike UR, the average VCU fan does not need either a walking catheter or Depends to get through a 3 hour football game. And there would be no need for provisions for their alum to park rascal scooters in front of City Stadium.

Have always said that an ODU/VCU football tailgate would be off the hook.

Tsk, tsk, will probably never happen.
