Why UNCW should not have a football team

For years UNCW has gone without offering any contact sports. I have heard a rumor that one of the donators or founders sons died playing football so they insisted that UNCW should not have contact sports such as football, lacrosse or wrestling. With the injury risk that is involved in these sports I believe that not offering a football team is justified. According to WWAY adding a football team to our school would cost too much money. Also with an addition of a football program would come scholarship opportunities for this program so the same scholarship opportunities would have to be offered to the UNCW womens athletic department. If a football team was to be established it could possibly cause student fees to increase by astronomical proportions. Many people believe that starting a football team would bring unity to UNCW as well as create more popularity as far as our national status but although this is a great idea, UNCW is just too small and we lack the fund at this point and time to establish such a program. Even though many students favor creating a football team, I think that when everybody's student fee's triple, they might change their mind.
