What if the vote had been to delay football for three years, which was one of the options presented to the board?
Dubois told the board he feared a delay would hurt the credibility of any future efforts to add football at the school, and possibly kill the chance for adding the sport completely. Another reason not to wait: Interest rates and construction costs will never be lower than they are now. Ironically, the same problems in the economy that have hurt the push for FSL sales and corporate donations may have saved the effort by depressing those rates and costs.
