Question for next go ‘round, and I’m gonna take a sec to set this one up on the tee...

I know all that football talk made Michael’s heart and head hurt, but it has once again intrigued me. The conference “blow up” question spoke to how UNCW should be part of a conference that doesn’t have split loyalties with football. Why does UNCW avoid a football program. The student body has nearly doubled (I think) since I graduated in ‘06. The campus is huge in comparison now. The land isn’t a problem. Recruiting in NC wouldn’t be a problem. Startup cost would be. Travel, etc. is it time for UNCW to seriously weigh the pros and cons of starting a football team, instead of just dismissing the idea.

There are plenty of schools that have started programs in the last decade and been relatively successful. Not to mention the draw for alumni and just more general excitement and future alumni/donors for the school and Athletic Dept.

FCS football is by and large a money pit.

Sure, in a lot of places. Think about what makes our basketball attendance so strong in the community though. Partly because we’re the only D1 show unless you wanna drive a couple hours. Plus the growing student population could more easily support it. I’m just saying the old reasons for not doing it are dwindling due to growth. Can’t hurt to at least discuss.

It would definitely be cool of we could build a program with JMU or App St like success. No argument from me there. I'm just skeptical that is a realistic possibility
