Need a football team

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock needs a football team. How great will it be to open up the school year with football action for once instead of waiting for basketball season to start? It’s been 50 years since UALR had a football team. There’s 7-on-7 flag football being played on campus; students are interested in having a football team on campus, so why not have a football team for the school? A football team would recruit students to continue their football lives and would increase revenue. All the big universities have a football team such as Fayetteville, UCA, UAPB, and Arkansas State. Football can bring the community and the campus together.

UALR is one of only two schools in the Sun Belt Conference without a football team. Resurrecting football will motivate the entire campus. It will definitely get people talking and help raise our profile because it will be meaningful to the entire school. As a matter of fact, it will help the athletic department too.

A football team will put UALR on the map. It’ll be fun to go to a football game at UALR because right now there’s really no activities on campus going on that are exciting for the most part until basketball season starts.

It will be the newest attraction on campus and we as students will have something to look forward to each week. That way there’s at least something on campus that students can abide to.
