No Football....

Although I'd really like so see a football team at UNCW I'm required to look into and blog about why we shouldn't have a team. I'm a band geek and would love to get involved in a marching band. The season is so much fun and we become close friends who have an amazing time.
Anywho...
Without a football team at our university there is more funding for academics, research, tuitions, and scholarships. Shouldn't that be where our financial focus should be anyway? Students attend college to gain opportunities and furthur their education. While they are at college they should have all the resources available to them that they need, when they need it and where they need it. Keeping a campus thriving and benificial is enough of a priority to be a financial focus.
Sports are a major part of student life on campus and there are enough club sports around and available to all peoples that there isn't much of a need to fund a major college football team. If a student wants to play football all they need to do is join a flag football club team or find a group of guys that you already know to go out and play a game of football. An official traveling, major competing football team would take much time from the student and, like every sport, it could either make or break a student. Some can balance sports and academics very well, while others struggle through and even hold sports above their academics.
A football team requires financial committment and the time and efforts of many.
