<p>I want to know how many people actually want a football team at UCSD, so please answer the following question:</p>
<p>Do you want to have a football team at UCSD?
(Yes/No)</p>
<p>(Note: I understand that there are other issues that have to be resolved before adding a football team(like Title IX, bad economy, football stadium), but for the purpose of this question, please set aside all other arguments. Thank you.</p>
<p>Yes I do, but I would rather move to Division I before we do that.</p>
<p>I believe we already voted on this in the Spring Quarter elections? The majority of students said yes.</p>
<p>I heard that we had a football team before, but it sucked so much that we lost to Caltech? (***)</p>
<p>It’d be nice but I don’t care.</p>
<p>I’d love one but it’s so not happening anytime soon.</p>
<p>It would be nice! But it won’t happen anytime soon 
Especially since the students voted to not pay at all/pay $5-10 each student, while the minimum to help start a football game would be $30 each student I think. </p>
<p>And yeah, we lost to CalTech o_o;</p>
<p>I would pay $30.</p>
<p>Wait, we actually had a team?</p>
<p>Edit: I wouldn’t mind a team, but really, what the school needs is just something to rally around.</p>
<p>No. I don’t want to pay $70 per quarter. Or even $5 per quarter.</p>
<p>I don’t think UCSD has ever had a team, fyi.</p>
<p>they had a team for 1 year but then alll the players got drafted to vietnam</p>

<p>Do you realize how hard it would be to start a football team? Firstly, there’s the money issue, which will be a big problem in this economy. There’s also the Title IX issue, which will get a lot of sports programs cut and will **** a lot of people off. Then we’ll lose every game for at least 6 years because no decent football player will want to play at UCSD ($500 scholarships? C’mon…). And since nobody at UCSD cares about sports in general, attendance will be pretty close to 0, so the school will probably cut it after losing a ton of money because of it. </p>
<p>So, no, we really do not need a football team.</p>
<p>Its a question of priorities. Difficult to argue that given all the challenges facing UCSD at this time, starting a football program should be a priority. I view it as a luxury. Definitely not a need. And any resources directed to the football program will have to come from somewhere else. so, the opportunity cost will be high.</p>
<p>I don’t care about a football team. I’d go to another school if I really cared.</p>
<p>^I think that’s probably a lot of people’s feelings, including myself. I enjoy watching football, but I don’t really care. I’ll be at the basketball games though.</p>
<p>I would pay that extra fee for a football team and yes, I do care. Thank you very mucho =p</p>
