I've heard a rumor since I've been here and even before I started attending UNCW. This rumor is the reason UNCW doen't have a football team is because a large contributor to the program wouldn't really like for the university to get one. In simpler terms, someone that is donating lots of money to the university wouldn't apprciate it very much if we started a football program. If this is true, then I'd say it would be of our best interest to keep this school without a football team. More times than none if we were to get a football team, I'd say that the large contributor to the university would be very upset and stop donating money to the university. Why would we want to bring this something like this upon ourselves.
Another reason we shouldn't get a football team is because of our location. What I hear from people when they talk about UNCW, is how nice it is. Most people come to attend Wilmington because it is located at the beach. Not so much because we have a good atheletics program or anything. With this said, if we were to get a football team, I'm not sure how good they would be. We would probably have trouble with recruiting.
My last reason we shouldn't get a football team is because of what it might bring. I'm not trying to be stereo typical but in today's world, it seems more and more football players are thugs. Marcus Vick and Plaxico Burress are prime examples of this. I mean look at Miami's football program for the past 5 years and all the events that have happened dealing with football players. I'm not saying that it happens often but why even take the risk.
