Fall is a signal of many things, but for some colleges, it’s football season.


Out of the 350 Division I schools in the NCAA, 112 schools do not have a football program, including Pepperdine, according to NCAA Sport.


Even with the various difficulties in creating a football team — such as location, money and conference play — President Jim Gash wrote in an Sept. 16 email to the Graphic he would not rule out anything with certainty in regard to the creation of another football team.

I suppose it is possible that another president and another Board of Regents down the road will evaluate things differently, but I honestly can’t conceive of us adding a football program at any time in the foreseeable future,” Gash wrote.
