	HoyaSaxa.com: Georgetown Football History
		At the conclusion of the club football era, Georgetown football rejoined the NCAA ranks in 1970 at the "College Division" level, or what is now known as Division II.
		The average annual budget in Division III football was around $125,000, compared with budgets from $1-4 million in Division I-AA and as much as $15 million at the Division I-A (major college) level.
		In a larger sense, a nonscholarship Division I football program would raise the visibility of Georgetown's football tradition without bankrupting it, providing opportunities for students to compete amongst their academic peers within the overall educational goals of the university.
