Another posters on the thread about Jacksonville and FGCU said the word is that Stetson would leave the A-Sun because of finances. Looks to me that the program is starting a feasibility check into having football at the school.
Looks like a Pioneer Football League fit. If several more Florida schools add non-scholarship football, could they get a conference going?
DELAND -- Stetson University -- are you ready for some football?
That question may get a quick answer as university officials are gathering information and evaluating the feasibility of starting a Football Championship Subdivision (formally Division I-AA) nonscholarship program.
Athletics Director Jeff Altier said Thursday he is forming a select committee to evaluate a recommendation by a university committee that football be brought back to the school. The Hatters last played football in 1956, and Altier said it usually takes a minimum of three years from when a decision is made to start a program and actually play the first game.
