Xavier FCS Football???

What does this even mean?

…and I thought it was just me.

Go over there and read it. Other schools have used it to attract and retain male students. I've seen it work, here in Indy@ Marian Univ. So well that they are funding a Med School and their male enrollment is flourishing. And they've won a Natl Championship. This has become a problem at X in the last couple of years, why the admin is toying with the idea of earmarking $1mil in marketing startup money to fund the team.

If Xavier can extort the parents of 75 average high school football players out of $50k per year, more power to them. I'd prefer they don't, though.

Where are you hearing this? Please tell me this isn't more evidence of MOR having lead in his house.

With all due respect, this thread probably should be put in the freezer for a little while.

When you get right down to it, I think there are just four kinds of college presidents

-Those who are at football schools and love having football

-Those who are at football schools and hate football, but deal with it anyway

-Those who are at schools without football, and want football

-Those who are at schools without football, and are pretty sure that there are schools out there that have football, but don't really know what football actually is.

And those that don't have football, used to so they know what football is, and still don't give a shit.

Why risk the "undefeated since 73" streak?

Probably want to play in Staubach Stadium.

Not sure they could fill it up.

Sadly, it's true. There are some on the Board who seriously want football, I'm told, and also believe (oddly) that this will be a recruiting tool for male students. Not a done deal though, and hopefully wiser heads will prevail.

Attract a better looking female student, and you won’t have to worry about male retention. It was a problem twenty years ago, and judging by what I see at games, it’s still a problem today.
