We have about 6 national championships to make up for hockey. I'd support throwing down some cooling coils in the Klotsche Center, should the arena be put elsewhere. Why not? Practice and games for the club teams, and recreation skating for students. Edit: about football, I don't know how the Urban Ecology Center could get shared use - what I do know is that would be an excellent spot for a stadium, north of the UEC.

BP, you can appreciate this. On the Badgermaniac board the Badger fans are lamenting the fact that in Wisconsin we have one division I football team yet in Tennessee there are 9. Yes, nine. 3 FBS, 6 FCS. mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=193&f=2560&t=6405138

There is 4 FBS schools in Tennessee not 3.

Okay so it's 4 FBS and 5 FCS? Regardless, that's a ridiculous amount of football teams.

GSU had 16,000 in the third home game. I think 15,000 will be about the average, seeing as the game was against another FCS team; the 12,000 low number came from a game against NAIA Lambuth.

The novelty is still there (just like a new baseball stadium). Let's see how they do attendance-wise in years 2, 3 and 4.

Maybe year 3 and 4.
Old Dominion, in year 2, has yet to play a home game that is not a sellout. With a capacity of 19,782, Foreman Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium had 7 home games in 2009 and 2 so far in 2010. Every single game had a packed house of 19,782.
ODU was 9-2 in 2009, with only two of those games played against teams out of their FCS I-AA division (The two opening games against Chowan and Virginia Union).

Valpo is part of the Pioneer League, a league that exists only because the NCAA wouldn't allow those schools to remain D-III in football and D-I in everything else.

How many scholarships does the baseball team award? I'm guessing a football for baseball swap might have to be made to level out scholarships.

11.78 scholarships...not a whole lot.

With a scholarship football team in place, how does the university balance scholarships between men's and women's sports?

With a scholarship football team in place, how does the university balance scholarships between men's and women's sports? Currently, Milwaukee stands at 134.2 scholarships: 55.2 for men, 79 for women. The fraction accounts for the fact that some men's sports award partial scholarships, as you can see with baseball. As you can see, that's 23.8 more scholarships for women, and as long as our men's scholarships don't exceed women's scholarships for an extended period of time, we'd be able to field football. Football has 85 scholarships in I-A FBS, 63 in I-AA FCS. In either case, women's sports would need to be added. Baseball could be taken away; you take away about $150,000 in operating costs, a few dozen thousand in coaches salaries, and exactly $207,210.20 if every baseball scholarship is in-state. Of course, that money would go back into football and women's sports. If you take away baseball, the magic number of scholarships for I-AA football to be here is 27.42. That could be achieved by adding three women's sports. Here is a list of women's sports we don't have and the amount of scholarships they use: Softball - 12 Bowling - 6 Golf - 6 CC Skiing - 7 Field Hockey - 12 Fencing - 5 Water Polo - 8 Lacrosse - 12 Field Hockey and Lacrosse would be able to play on Engelmann Field. Softball can play at any number of fields across northeast side of town. Add one more sport, and you can keep baseball. But you're adding around 400k.
