Possible. I'd wager a gagillion bucks that the president didn't realize the rest of the sports programs would be placed at risk by having to move out of the C-USA conference. Also there has been a massive surge in donations in order to bring football back. The crazy thing, most football players have left… I'm sure they'll all run as fast as they can to come back… you know with all that admin support. For those that haven't seen it, the second link is the video of the president telling the team that they were cutting the football program… What a shambles.
