UNC Charlotte has taken the first step toward starting a football program — if it can raise the money needed.
The school's board of trustees voted unanimously Thursday to move forward with starting a program. UNCC hopes to field its first team by 2013 and play in the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision, formerly Division I-AA.
First, the school must raise nearly $45 million to pay for coaches and scholarships, and to build a 12,000-seat on-campus stadium.
With more than 22,000 students, UNCC is one of the largest schools in the nation without a football team.
