Another article on adding college football

There are obviously more important things than Xavier having football. Xavier basketball with 8 new recruits necessarily reflects the nature of big time college athletics. FCS football still would be nice though.

Baby steps. Until they get the whole NIL, paying players directly issue worked out, I don’t see X looking at adding a new sport that can require some cash for equipment and a number of coaches.

Probably not. The NIL situation certainly is a mess. That being said, Xavier still faces the declining male enrollment situation and whether football would help remains the question.
