COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College received national recognition on Wednesday as the Blue Raider football program was mentioned in USA Today.

Lindsey Wilson is one of at least 26 schools in the NAIA and NCAA beginning football over a four year span (2009-2013). Blue Raider football returns -- the program has been dormant for 75 years -- at 1:30 p.m. CT on September 4 against another first-year program, Norte Dame (Ohio) College.

Lindsey Wilson and Notre Dame are among six institutions beginning football this season.

The article cites the stark contrast between Lindsey Wilson and NCAA's University South Alabama -- who has an enrollment of more than 14,000 students -- as both begin the venture of football in 2010.

"It's exciting to see Lindsey Wilson and our programs receive national acknowledgement," LWC athletics director Willis Pooler said. "The USA Today article is an example of how football is another vehicle for us to extend the college's mission to a wider audience."
