Chicago State University’s first-ever football coach, Bobby Rome II, doesn’t know where his team will practice.

“Right now,” he said, “we have not nailed down those logistics.”

As for where the Cougars will play games, well, that’s not exactly settled, either.

“I don’t know,” Rome said. “Kind of all up in the air.”

And then there’s the minor matter of players. Chicago State doesn’t have any.

“At the moment, no,” Rome said during a phone call with the Sun-Times late in his very first official day on the job.
