Nova is going nowhere near FBS football. That ship sailed when the Big East Football teams took off in 2011-12. Nova was serious then, but when they had time to study FBS football at the G5 level it was a hard pass back then. They were coming off a Natty FCS title just 2 years prior too.
Villanova’s appetite for football lies in the souls of about 1000 -2000 fans or so. Many are well-heeled ex-players who have kept the pressure on with significant donations. The powers that be at Villanova probably would shut it down if they could & definitely will look at less expensive options when the situation arises. This may be one of those situations now.
I would love Villanova to compete with the best. Hopefully, louder & stronger voices than mine will keep Villanova in that position. Interesting times for sure.
