Chicago State is aiming to add an FCS football program and took a step closer to making it a reality earlier this week.
Chicago State announced that the school’s board of trustees has approved a proposal to begin a public fundraising initiative to expand its number of sports teams. The wheels began turning on the potential addition of a football program in January, when the school put together an exploratory committee to look at the possibility. The formation of the committee came after a feasibility study was completed in 2021.
Along with the potential addition of a football program, Chicago State also has finalized plans to launch a women’s triathlon program next year.
