CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- UNC Charlotte chancellor Philip Dubois has recommended the school start a football program that would begin play in 2013.
Dubois told the school's board of trustees Thursday that the team should begin play in the lower-tier Football Championship Subdivision, with the goal to eventually move to the top level of Division I.
The board is expected to vote on the issue in November.
The plan will involve increasing student fees, and the school must still devise a plan for a football stadium.
