Thread: UCF joins the Sunbelt for Soccer

  1. Default Re: UCF joins the Sunbelt for Soccer

    Would be shameful to add 2 women's sports without adding the most popular sport in the WORLD for men, especially since we are already in one of the best conferences for that sport.

    I’m specifically thinking of all the FCS programs — most of whom I believe sponsor the bare minimum of 14 sports.

    Going from 16 to 18 might not be bad for us. Going from 16 to 20 would be much more difficult.

    Here is a list of women’s sports we don’t offer:

    - beach volleyball
    - rowing
    - lacrosse
    - field hockey
    - ice hockey
    - water polo
    - golf
    - swimming
    - gymnastics

    Beach volleyball and golf shouldn’t be too difficult, but I think everything else would get really expensive.

    We can hire Farmer as a dive and swim coach.

    We really should look at adding cricket. It’s only the SECOND LARGEST sport in the world.

    Spectator potential should be a deciding factor.
