Authement cuts programs

[Cajun Monkee]

Just curious who in conference still competes in weight lifting? Where would our major competition be today if the program would have never gotten the axe? I never hear of any weight lifting teams today.

Nobody. Its not even recognized by the NCAA.

I think this link will show you the literal handful of schools that still have teams.

And I might be mistaken, but I think weightlifting will no longer be an Olympic sport.

Apparently its a competition rife with cheating (doping, PEDs, etc.)

It is the sport where immediate improvement is most apparent and measurable.

So yeah the NCAA snuck out the back door on that sport.

Authement was ahead of his time on that one.

RIP Dr. A. You left us the best university in the state. These guys are, like my Dad used to say, “ complaining with a full stomach “.

I bet there the number of Olympic sports that are not rife with PEDs could be counted on one hand of a an old chain throwing roughneck.

If they didn't add discgolf, then no. Go look at the numbers for discgolf pre and post covid. They now have players with 10 million dollar endorsement deals

"With an anchor in the Central South who knows where National weightlifting would be today and how many offensive linemen it would attract."

I'm sure it would attract some well mannered ones as well.
