I'm thinking we'll have another Caste FCS program on our hands, but maybe I'll be wrong.

<h2>UNC Charlotte to field team in 2013</h2>
</div>






CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Trustees for the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte have announced plans to move forward with a football team,
starting in the 2013 season.

The board of trustees agreed
unanimously Friday morning on a new plan that would provide $40.5
million in funding to build a permanent 30,000-seat stadium and field
house, and to seek state approval for a student fee increase to fund
the project.

Chancellor Philip Dubois said the time would never be better.

The
move would require an increase of student fees of up to $320, to be
phased in over several years. UNC Charlotte's chancellor says the
student fee could go down if private donations toward the football
program increase.
