Should we expand UMASS football?

"Football Delusions in Amherst" was featured in the Hampshire Gazette a few days ago and honestly, I agree with the majority of what it said. The columnist talked about how most universities who spend a lot of money in their football divisions end up using it as a means of gambling. He compared it to a game of craps and said UMASS could never afford it. He's right. UMASS has never been a huge football school, if anything people's favorite sport here would be hockey. Building a new stadium for football would be a waste of money and cause a lot of trouble for students already struggling to make ends meet financially. The columnist says if they were to build the stadium, the university would have to charge more in student fees to compensate for such a vast amount of money spent on it. However, I don't agree with a couple things mentioned in the article. He quotes a man saying the campus is run down and dangerous, but besides some construction, the campus is in good shape. We could potentially afford it, but to put so much money into something that lacks the fan base necessary to make it worth while, it would only make the school lose money.
