Re: New football Programs
Thank you for not confusing PacU with UOP. They got congratulatory calls when UOP made the NCAA Tournament several years ago, and UOP apparently got a few when news of PacU's reinstatement of football was announced months ago.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Re: New football Programs
UTSA may not be an Independent. Depends on what the NCAA does with their votes in the spring. They may get fucked if they vote to not allow FCS's to be independent any longer and have to have an invite in place, from an FBS conf, to start transitioning.
If that goes through and UTSA has no invite they will have to find a conference or try to schedule all their sports as an in limbo U. That would kill them as they want to disassociate themselves from the SLC (they're too good for us)
