Small Colleges Starting Football

[jayhawkdaddy]

Berry College out of Georgia is adding football in 2013 and is joining the SSA Conference along with Hendrix College!

Yep, been discussed.  And they're joining the SAA, not SSA.   

Here is NEW news, though:

GEORGETOWN, Texas - Southwestern University will reinstate football and add women's lacrosse to its roster of NCAA Division III intercollegiate sports, thanks to $6 million in gifts from two former student-athletes.

Joe Seeber, a 1963 graduate who played basketball while he was at Southwestern, has pledged $5 million to launch the new programs and San Antonio businessman Red McCombs, who also attended Southwestern and played football, has pledged $1 million. Joanne and Brent Austin of Houston also have made a gift to support the new programs.

The new Southwestern football team will play its first game in the fall of 2013. The new women's lacrosse team will begin competition in the spring of 2014.

Sorry, Pat, I was in the office yesterday and didn't see your more complete story until later in the evening.
