NKU Football Team?

If I had a several million dollars I would build my own college.

 

A) you would need more than several million.

 

B) that would be terrific for a myriad of reasons, and I'd be your first booster. :bunny:

That way SK would really have all those D1 offers, right? :jump:

The best ROI of any public institution in the State of Kentucky and I believe the cheapest. I'm not sure why you feel that it is over valued.

 

I've had several discussions where I stated my feelings about how degrees from NKU stand up to those from UK and Louisville...but what makes them the best ROI of any public institution?

 

EKU: In State - $3,960 per semester; $8,724 out of state.

NKU: In State - $4,236 per semester; $8,472 out of state.

UK: In State - $5,232 per semester; $11,367 out of state.

UofL: In State - $5,118 per semester; $12,062 out of state.

FYI, if you are Division I in basketball you are required to be Division I or I-AA in football. You can't be D2, D3, or NAIA.

Oh lets relive the past by reading this:

The Cincinnati Enquirer

 

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS - Northern Kentucky University regents said yes to creating a new football program Wednesday and launched a search for a coach to be able to kick off by the fall of 1999.

 

With a 7-2 vote, the Board of Regents voted in favor of starting football, making the women's soccer club a varsity team and phasing in women's golf, swimming and track and field over several years.

 

''I'm very pleased,'' said interim President Jack Moreland. ''I think it's the right thing to do."

There is even a picture of the helmet. Nice!!!!!

I was incorrect it includes all 114 colleges in the state of KY. I must have missed those discussions but I believe an NKU degree is as good as any you'll find in the state.

 

NKU tops Kentucky college return-on-investment rankings

How do I not remember that? What happened from here?

How do I not remember that? What happened from here?

 

Makes us feel really old.

What can we do to help get NKU a football team? Just think if we had a D1 NKY college football team wouldn't that be awesome? Have Hoge at QB? Powell at RB? Winkler at WR? Drew Moore being a play maker? Wouldn't be awesome? They would have a huge O-line also. Alot of good talent in NKY I would love to see this happen.

 

They could have a huge O-line next year.

 

Ryle Ross 6'2 290

Campbell County kid 6'6 290

SK Olmstead 6'4 310

SK Vercheak 6'5 265

Newport Johnson 6'3 315

 

You say you want NKU to be a D1 football team and then your list 1 or 2 potential D1/1-AA kids and a bunch of D3 kids. That would make it tough for NKU to win.

So you are saying none of those kids could play D1?

I'm not saying it. Most of the D1 coaches are saying it.

Some as in 1 or 2 which is what I said initially.

 

The vast majority of players you listed are not D1. Hard to win D1 games with D3 players.

You would. College coaches have not.
