TAMPA, FL - BREAKING NEWS: The University of Tampa has announced that a division II football program will be arriving in Fall of 2024, according to the Athletic Director, Soah Kerr.
“Bringing football back to UT has been one of my main goals as the [athletic director at UT],” said Kerr. “There is a lack of manly, testosterone-filled aggression on this campus and football is a great way to fill that void.”
The program is expected to generate substantial revenue for the university according to the University of Tampa interim Treasurer Michael Moolah.
Moolah declined any direct comments due to previous statements.
The student body is thrilled to have a football program arrive back on campus.
“This is the best day ever. I can’t wait till I am an eighth year to tailgate the games with my fraternity brothers,” said Chad Broareyouinafrat, a junior at the University of Tampa. “We’ve had to go to USF tailgates to compensate for the lack of day drinking on campus for too long.”
With the rise of concussion awareness in recent years, some athletes at UT are hesitant about trying out for the team.
“There are injuries left and right in college and the NFL, let alone the substantial head injuries that they suffer daily,” said T.J A.J. R.J. Backslashinfourth V, a member of the UT Flag Football club. “That’s why I stay away from contact.”
The reason UT hasn’t had a football program in years past was due to conflict with USF and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both already share the field, but Kerr has a solution.
“We will have a one game, winner takes all style match. Whoever wins, USF or UT, then takes the football team with them and the field,” said Kerr. “The players will need to transfer schools of course but their schooling is already paid for so it won’t matter too much.”
The game still has yet to scheduled.
