Hello all,
I am doing a little bit of a research project, and I hope there are a few people on here that may be able to help.
Current DII Independent Salem had a strong football program in the 1970s before they cut the program in 1989. A lot of big names around West Virginia football made their way through Salem as players and coaches such as Jimbo Fisher, Rich Rodriguez, Ed Pastilong, Jack Deloplaine, Terry Bowden, and Bill Stewart.
I am curious if anyone on here remembers anything of those times in Salem, or knows of stories from that time period, or if they have anything interesting about the idea of bringing football back at Salem.
I always thought they belong in the MEC, and if they had football, that they probably would be in the MEC today. If Salem added football tomorrow, would that be exciting news in the MEC football landscape?
Just trying to get a sense of what Salem football would mean for the greater West Virginia sports landscape. Thanks in advance for any input you may have.
