Guest coachacola Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Does anyone know if or when the students will vote on raising fees for football? It looks like the University of South Alabama is moving towards a student vote: http://www.al.com/news/press-register/index.ssf?/base/news/119261326098310.xml&coll=3At least 2,000 students must by Nov. 10 sign a petition in support of a new football program and an activity fee increase from $103 to between $203 and $253 per semester.Though 2,000 signatures doesn't guarantee a new football program, without them, football will not come to the 14,000-student university, Ayers said. If the new program is approved, USA will likely not field a team before fall 2009.The university would count on a fee increase to cover most of the cost of a football program, estimated to be between $4 million and $5 million per year. I was hoping the students at Lamar would get to vote on raising fees for football sometime this semester.
UNLV Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 We all are dying for some news, however lets bite the bottom lip, take a breath, and talk basketball. We don'twant to hurt any plans LU has for football. We all heard the rumors, I want more, but not at the expense of screwingup the plan.

We all have heard rumors and I believe football is returning to Lamar. I just can't tell you when because I have not idea.
