a lot of schools are doing it simply because leagues are starting to require football teams to be members of their conference. $$$$$$ is not the reason, as most schools, even the overwhelming majority of D1-FBS schools lose money on football.

I think that Mercer is going to join the Pioneer conference which is a football only conference. Bear football will be non-scholarship, for now. If I could turn back the clock a couple of decades, I'd go out for the team. I realize that 99% of my fellow posters don't give a hoot about this but it's about the biggest thing that my alma mater will ever do on the athletic front in my lifetime. I may never go to a game in maconga but I will be a donor and season ticket holder for life.

I'm guessing we will probably see the bears first game of the year at Allen E. Paulson Stadium just down I-16

Mercer hired Coach Lamb from Furman to get the program started.

In furtherance of this egomaniacal thread that nobody else here gives a crap about, I will add that the first team scrimmage will be on November 10 or 11, 2012. Can't freaking wait!

She was the speaker at my law school graduation. The previous class had a US Supreme Court justice and we got the tv lawyer. I recall my parents liking whatever it was she said and guess that's what it's all about at those events.
