Men's NCAA Soccer Championship

Replace men's golf with men's soccer. Done.

Soccer is the future, especially in the south.

We have a great opportunity to start a men's program and be in the best conference in men's college soccer.

Soccer has as much of a future down here as hockey.

Roster size difference between soccer and golf is big (need a lot more scholarships for soccer than golf). Not to mention staffing differences, medical costs, travel, facilities, etc.

There’s a reason men’s soccer is sponsored by a small amt of schools.

40 years ago, Softball was like water skiing. It was a novelty. Look at it now. It is a top 4 or 5 sport at many universities across America. If we were trying to start a Softball program from scratch right now, we would never be able to build something like we have.

Soccer is going to grow just like Softball has. This can't be stopped. We either get in on the ground floor now like we did with Softball or we will be trying to play catch up a few decades from now with no chance to build anything good.

Soccer will definitely replace American football within the next 50 years. 100% I'll bet my life on that.
Might as well get out in front of it...for once.

Could you imagine the travel costs for Men’s soccer? To my knowledge there are only 4 DI teams within 7 hours of Lafayette: Houston Christian, UIW in San Antonio, SMU in Dallas, and Central Arkansas in Conway. For every other game (including conference,) you’re buying flights, meals, and hotel rooms for 28 players + coaches and support staff.
