Winthrop Adding Football?

[ATrain]

Looking over at a thread on the Coastal board, I noticed on the Big South Expansion thread that someone visited the campus and basically he said the new Winthrop track area is actually big enough for a football field in the middle, and there is a set of stadium seats with a nice press tower, not to mention 8 different items in their bookstore with that has to do with football (and not just a T-Shirt that says "Winthrop Football: Undefeated").

With this new development, if Winthrop does indeed add football, how much does this increase the Big South's chances of gaining an auto-bid to the tourney?

There aren't enough men at Winthrop to field a team :>)

For our Winthrop fans that was my attempt at humor for the day - no hate mail please.

No need for hate-mail...the 70% female population was a nice perk of going to Winthrop. As for the football thing, I haven't heard about any developments in that area, but then again, I live 170 miles from Rock Hill, so I'm definitely not an 'insider'

Don't be modest, Jeremy. If there was something afoot with football you would know about it.
