Hilltoppers eager to make 1-A jump
There's been a lot of talk surrounding the future of Hilltopper football recently.
Western Kentucky President Gary Ransdell has stated his position. So has athletics director Wood Selig and nearly everyone else affiliated with the team - from the biggest supporters to the shallowest of bandwagon fans.
The only people who weren't talking about the move to I-A football over the past year were the football players and coaches themselves.
The only official position coach David Elson and his team had on the whole ordeal looked no further than the immediate future. When the WKU Board of Regents approved the move to I-A football on Nov. 2 at the school's Owensboro branch, there was not as much as a peep from out of the football office at L.T. Smith Stadium.
This past Saturday's 24-14 win over Austin Peay marked the Hilltoppers' final game as a I-AA program. After the game the team broke its silence.
