Kennesaw State plans to field a football team, school president Daniel Papp announced at a news conference Wednesday. 'Football should be in KSU's future,' Papp said. 'Now we must set about the task of making that happen.' The announcement was made following the recommendations of an exploratory committee led by Georgia coaching legend Vince Dooley since last December. Papp said 'if things go perfectly,' the suburban Atlanta college could begin play in 2014. A football team, Dooley said, 'establishes national brand and by that I mean a visible distinguished identification and a national prominence that's really not available from any part of the campus. It does initiate a sense of pride, a point of connection around the state.' Ken Sugiura writes for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. E-mail: ksugiura@ajc.com.
