CARTERVILLE — John A. Logan College is considering adding a football program, according to a report from KFVS12.
It would be a notable addition for a school that already carries the name of a Civil War general with deep ties to this county's story. Community colleges around the region have leaned on athletics to draw students in a tight enrollment market, and a football program would be among the biggest swings JALC has taken in that direction.
No timeline, cost estimate, or funding source was detailed in the available report. This bureau will watch for the college's next move — and for what it would mean for a campus, and a county, still working to rebuild what the coal economy took with it.
