As a recent UWF graduate, I was not happy to hear this. I wanted to graduate much earlier than I did, but the university claimed they couldn’t offer enough sections of coursework each semester. To find the money somehow to launch a football team and various other projects is a kick in the face. UWF appealed to me as a transfer student coming from a community college because historically, the university was not concerned with constructing facilities that would serve a non-academic purpose. Now, it appears they are trying to market the campus to a certain type of student..the type of student that probably doesn’t care if they graduate early or not.

They may not raise tuition to pay for the football team, but rest assured they will raise tuition….again.

Good move. They have basketball,baseball, and other sports, why not football. It would be more likely to bring in support and money than other sports. It would give scholarships to local kids, its all good.

Maybe UWF should concentrate more on improving parking arrangements than getting a football team that will dwindle out in a couple of years.

@David Green – Football programs actually help universities tremendously. Maybe you need to educate yourself.

Yep, that’ll really improve education.
Sure it will.
