The Football Collection includes one box of programs from 1982-1987, featuring the teams, the games, and news and highlights from the season.  Schedules from various seasons (scattered), announcements, and publications of the Athletic Department for the Football program make up one folder.  The Bailey’s hosted football parties at their home during the early years of the program, and a folder of invitations and information documents their efforts.  Football camp information and newsclippings covering the team complete the collection.
