Université de Moncton president Yvon Fontaine has stuck a committee that will complete a feasibility study into the institution starting a football program. Major issues the committee will analyze include the financial resources required to operate a potential football team and the recruitment of prospective players. The committee expects to decide sometime this fall or by the end of the year whether it will proceed with starting a football program. uMoncton's executive director of university relations says the addition of the team would raise the university's profile, and "would be something for the alumni to be proud of and support."
