I am drawing some ideas together about ways to approach Housing about student support for football. Being an RA for almost 2 years, our campus housing is dying to get students involved as well as keep students in housing. Football is a great answer to their mission. I can present many ideas for football programs for the RAs which they will eat up but I would also like to be able to show (hopefully) an increase of on campus student housing at universities that just added football programs. I can’t use ODU b/c football has not yet begun. I can use some of the schools listed on charlotte49erfootball.com but the student population is not the best comparison. Simply, the variance would bring my investigation into question. So if you have an opportunity, could you please send me a pm or reply of universities that added football recently to their [I]active[/I] athletic programs. Ones that have been in play for a few years to up to 10 years would be best. Thanks!I want to help circus out in any way I can and the CFI should probably be involved too. I'm sure this is just another step that can help our cause. We (CFI) need to do this research anyway for our reports and whatnot so I figured this would be a good time.
If you know any sites on the internet that tell how long a school has had a program, please post it. If you know any schools that recently started a program post them aswell. What do we want to set as “recently”? I’d say within the past 10-15 years probably is good. We could go older tho.
Just so y’all know, I looked at the official NCAA site and Wikipedia already and they don’t just have a list of when the programs started that I could find.
