If your athletic department can support the massive amount of time and money involved in fielding a successful team, then by all means, go ahead and do it. But if your school is creating a football team from scratch as a way to raise revenues, or get attention for your school, or attract students, in the long term it probably isn’t worth it financially.

Yes, or including a subsidy for sports in student fees, then scheduling football games on school nights, thereby making the “free” tickets students supposedly enjoy less valuable, all for national exposure on ESPN of the empty seats in the stadium. #MACtion.
