The plan is for the school to begin play in 2014. It will play in the FCS (formerly Division I-AA), the same level that Georgia State is playing in its first season. The team will play in KSU Soccer Stadium, which until now has been known as the home of the Atlanta Beat and has been billed as the largest gender-specific soccer stadium in the country.
Move aside, ladies.
Funding for the team will come from the student body. Papp said students will be asked to pay for the team with an $85 football fee per semester, on top of the school's $144 per-semester athletic fees, which support the existing varsity teams. The school will have to add one or more women's teams to remain in Title IX compliance, which would presumably further increase fees.
