Football @ KSU

September 29, 2006

Kennesaw State’s new president, Dr. Papp has said that he would be all for helping to bring football to our school if someone would pony up the majority of the money to start it up.  I think that I may have found a better solution for our school and any other school that doesn’t want to pump money into a football program, but still wants to put a team on the field.  Go the route of Buffalo who went 1-10 last year.  They are making $600,00 a game for playing Auburn and Wisconsin this year.   They were earlier scheduled to play West Virginia and Rutgers, but I guess that the money just wasn’t right.  The way I look at it $1.2 million for just two games should be more than enough for a team to operate a losing program or even a competetive one.  Maybe this is something that a school the size of Kennesaw should take into consideration when discussing whether or not they should field a team.  And besides the lopsided score in favor of the powerhouse and the larger wallet of the cupcakes, it still provides the lacking programs with publicity.  Which brings up the age old question of which is worse, “Bad news, or no news at all.”

  1. That’s not a bad point. If I were going to start up a football team at KSU, I’d suggest starting out as I-AA school and join the Southern Conference. Travel and recruiting will be cheap. Ga. So. probably won’t like it, though. Then you have a wealth of teams looking for homecoming patsies. And, unlike Buffalo, you can have successful program in I-AA and still get the big bucks.
