Dude of course they need a team, it would be diesel! I got into dub for 2012 and id love to have it by my senior year, or at least to go to once i graduate
I'm a junior at ECU and I think that a football team at UNCW would be awesome. The fun of tailgating should be something a school like UNCW can experience. Plus, the size of Wilmington guarantees a great fan base! (But still, Go Pirates!!!)
If UNCW starts a football team in the near future, myself and other D-2 and D-1AA recruits that would LOVE to transfer there for the beginning seasons.
Many high school students wishing to attend UNCW finds that no football team is a big turn off. Although this isn't going to keep all students from making UNCW their first choice, I definitely think that a football team would be a very beneficial addition to the school.
UNC-Pembroke has a team for the 2007 year and UNC-Charlotte is in the process of fielding a team by 2009 or 2010. Lets make Wilmington the best spot on the East Coast to play football.
