THE REQUEST TO APPROVED $500 IN ATHLETIC FEES WAS NOT APPROVED BY THE NC UNIVERSITY BOARD OF GOVERNORS. SOME OF THE GOVERNORS COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE PRIORITY FOR A FOOTBALL PROGRAM WHEN A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF STUDENTS ARE NOT GRADUATING AND UNC-P HAS A LOW RETENTION RATE AND NEEDS TO PAY ATTENTION TO STUDENT ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES AND OTHERS QUESTION HOW WILL THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM BE SUPPORTED FINANCIALLY AFTER START UP? CHANCELLOR MEADORS FEELS THAT FOOTBALL WILL BRING THE COMMUNITY AND THE UNIVERSITY TOGETHER. WILL IT?
