I would love to do a fun brainstorming session on how UVM could start football. Creative ways the university could bring in money, title IX hurdles, infrastructure- can Virtue Field work? Recruiting techniques to get players that fit at UVM🟢🟡🏈
TEAMS TO KNOW 2026: BFA-St. Albans (VT)
This is an outlier worth tracking.
After three straight seasons as the No. 8 seed in Vermont D1, BFA-St. Albans enters 2026 with a senior-heavy group and a clear goal: push into the top four.
The Bobwhites return 7 starters on offense and 7 on defense, with Porter Sweeney, Duffy Smith, Davion Jones, and Brayden Manning among the names to know.

America East should sponsor football! Bring back UVM football. The only state in the centennial USA that does not offer D1 football. 7 male offerings and 9 women's offerings at the state's largest university is a shame! Build the Tarrant Center and then add football
Should the America East conference support football?
If the remaining members began fielding programs / restarted theirs, would immediately be the most interesting in the FCS.
To get UVM football, here are the largest hurdles.
1. Cost: Ideally 15-20 Million would be healthy
2. Title IX: new scholarships and sport offerings for female athletes
3. Stadium: If VT Green and partners could help add a stadium to sit 5k that aligns with other CAA schools💭
