"RALEIGH - Wake Technical Community College plans to start an athletics program now that its board of trustees today doubled its student activity fee to provide funding for it. The trustees agreed to raise the student activity fee from $10 to $20 per semester to cover the costs of the program. The community college plans to begin a search for an athletic director. Wake Tech officials said they would start the athletics program by fielding a women's volleyball team, a men's soccer team and men's and women's golf teams. After that, they plan to add men's and women's basketball as well as softball and baseball."

I hear Lee Fowler is a potential candidate for the job

wake tech could put together one hell of a baseball program, and probably men's basketball.

schools like louisburg, lenoir cc, pitt cc, and surry cc have really been successful with wake county kids as far as baseball goes.

i had heard of wake tech considering baseball the last few years, kind if surprised that they are going to hold off on it longer.

I thought the point of community colleges were to give give students a cheaper alternate to traditional colleges/universities.

2/19/2008 1:05:45 PM

I don't think an extra $10 is gonna break the bank for anyone...

2/19/2008 1:07:40 PM

Cost of a class at NCSU at in-state cost:600 about for a 3 cr hour class
Cost I pay at Wake Tech for my history class :120

10 bucks ain't gonna hurt anyone.


Also CC is for offering other majors that most univesities don't offer. Like Plumming, webdesign, etc.

How long before the legislature mandates we play them at least once every 5 years?

2/19/2008 7:19:52 PM

clearly when the physics department annexed our 'bureau of mines' building the plumming program moved to wake tech


Plum´ming
n. 1. (Min.) The operation of finding, by means of a mine dial, the place where to sink an air shaft, or to bring an adit to the work, or to find which way the lode inclines.

Hopefully they'll have a decent football team that will subsequently be picked up by the ACC.

not much unless you are very successful. i know our CC baseball coach stepped down from the head coaching spot to become the school's AD for better pay.

Actually, it was more about irony than spelling. It's unfortunate that you need me to point that out.

Maybe you should take a $120 English class while you're there.

2/20/2008 7:56:28 PM

recruiting pipeline!

2/20/2008 8:14:09 PM

^^No, you're just being retarded; it's not ironic in anyway. Plus I think you mean spelling class as most English classes do not teaching spelling, dumbass.

This is good! We've had some Juco athletes through the years at State that have done us some good like Vern Sterry (pitcher for baseball). Maybe basketball could get a PG, or someone to play defense.
