Hmmmm. Step towards a male team?
No. Just trying to get the ladies better practice competition. Same thing Tennessee women's basketball started years ago.Quote:

Just for practice, don't get excited. Even done with local youth soccer.
Here are some h/s signees for the 24/25 season. The annual b/s of all this D1 talent in Louisiana isn't far off, look where the bulk of these players sign. Creole Soccer Club is funny thou.

So could one argue that softball and baseball dont actually have to follow roster limits if they just call the excess players as "practice players" only?
Normal for soccer. My boys teams play older girls teams at all ages often.
For the younger guys, sounds like a good way to find a GF.
Naw, in youth soccer they play the older girls because they possess a size advantage. And often the girls win. Once puberty arrives for the boys, it’s no longer a challenge.Quote:

UL WSOC and WBB are 2 programs that will never change until they are treated more than just satisfying Title IX. That might be something you and I agree on.
Athletics is already struggling financially all they need is 2 more sports that drain revenue and doesn’t generate any.Quote:

There's donor fatigue out there.
Ever cross your mind that’s part of the A2’s end game?Quote:

What about goimg back to when some coaches were also teachers, move the salary cost back to academics to free up some money for athleticsQuote:
