Kolek planning to go pro
Explain now why Marquette can't field a Division III football team?This is good news, but who cares about soccer?
Where will this stadium be located? At the existing valley field location? If so, will it continue to support track and field, club sports, and other activities as well?
The Klein's are big soccer fans....one son is currently play for Penn and another also played there in the past. MUHS grads.
Yeah, one of the "appeals" of Marquette is that it has no football team....riiiiggghhhhhhhtttttttttt.......I'm sure that schools like ND, Ohio State, Florida, Michigan, USC, etc... all feel that their football programs detract from the important, revenue-producing sports like soccer and volleyball.When I was at Marquette I hated how there was no football. Also, MU having a football program at the D-III level would not take away anything from the basketball program. Does basketball take anything away from football at ND or USC........no.But really, volleyball and soccer are big draws for applicants to Marquette, I mean, yeah, c'mon....
Georgetown and Villanova both have non-D1 football programs
As far as I'm concerned, Marquette is fine without football. If a generous donor wishes to fund an entire program, swell. Beyond that, however, Marquette has far better ways to spend its money and far more important places to invest contributions, considering the fact MU's endowment currently ranks 180th in the nation, behind the likes of Wheaton College and the Rhode Island College of Design.
