Wake Tech to Add Sports Teams

Written by S. Beaumont and filed under Sports 

Wake TechWake Tech is launching a Junior College sports program this Fall. The program will start with women’s volleyball, men’s soccer and men’s and women’s golf teams, and will add basketball in 2009 and softball and baseball in 2010. They’ll rent facilities early-on and will seek private donors to fund future development.

I think this is a great news for Raleigh. Besides making Wake Tech a more attractive place to go to school, it also creates jobs, provides a new athletic attraction, aids local colleges in terms of athletic transfers and creates a potential source of revenue for the school and other local businesses.

    As long as they don’t lose balance on priorities and forget their real mission is education. Way too many universities and colleges forget that these days. College is to learn stuff….you can toss a ball around anywhere.

    I’m not sure, but to my knowledge it’s not in the plans. But more importantly…ease up on the caps-lock!

    I think it’s great news as well. I’m a huge college sports fan.

    I was wondering if there was a way we could get wrestling as a sport next year.
