Interesting talk coming from UVSC, it appears the students want football.  A commitment to add football might help them land in the Mid-Con with the rest of us (assumeing that we get in).

" .  .  .  approximately 45 percent of those surveyed felt that UVSC basketball was the “Best Sport” on campus. Ranking second was Wolverine Women’s Volleyball – the 2005 Division I Independent Champions. And holding steady in third place was a sport not currently offered at UVSC … football.

Football is coming

An interview with Mike Jacobsen

It is almost college football Bowl Season, and we have heard the rumblings about UVSC getting a football team for quite some time, but how far away are we from football here and how will it affect the students?

Q: What are your thoughts on UVSC getting a football team?

A: That's a big question. I've had thoughts on that for twenty years. I think it could be the best thing for our school and for our community for us to play football-to have something for our students to go to during the fall when they initially come to school and to have something to look at on the front page of the newspaper like the rest of the school's football teams. I think that that is the only thing missing, that UVSC needs and that it needs to be here. . . . (read more)
