You Know What's a Bad Idea?

UNCW Football.


i was going write a long argumentative type essay about why UNCW should NOT have a football team, but that would take too long.

Instead I will just give a bulleted list of points why we shouldn't.

• Space. We don't have it. Even the smallest of football fields would still take up more space than we have to build. The argument could be made that we build on the intermural field, but that field is used by thousands of students, most every day for various other sports. Don't take that away from them.
• Money. We don't have it. It takes a lot to build a good stadium, and even to build a good team. You need tons of equipment, uniforms, pads, lockers, a field house, ect. And UNCWs budget is being cut but at least 6% if not more. Correct me if I'm wrong but the number one rule of spending is that you need the money to spend. Don't Buy Stuff You Cannot Afford.
• Talent. We don't have it. This is more of an assumption, but if there is a football player worth having on a football team, chances are they already play for someone else. And no graduating High School senior would go to Wilmington for football if there was any other option. Nobody wants to be the guinea pig of an experimental team. We already have a terrible basketball team, isn't that enough? Do we really need a terrible football team as well?

That's all I've got for now.

I'm going to go catch up on How I Met Your Mother.
