No one is saying it CAN’T be done. We’re questioning (and I’m saying no) SHOULD it be done.
I want our limited resources concentrated on sports that are relevant nationally and regionally, which we already know is football and baseball.
And I say that as a former Cajuns Olympic sport athlete. If we’re going to try to keep up our progress in football, we can’t run around chasing resources to dump in men’s soccer plus another women’s sport that would have to be added.
I know this was brought up in the last soccer thread, but could we drop Olympic sports in favor of adding a soccer program + (beach volleyball or women golf)? Does the Sun Belt Conference require Olympic sports? Do the different events in Olympic Sports allow us to tally up to certain required number of sports programs?
If there are no barriers or reasons why we need to sponsor Olympic sports, would it be wise to replace them with a sport with potential to generate revenue way years down the road is soccer ever overtakes football/basketball/diamond sports in popularity (realizing this is a timeframe in decades)?
Mens basketball will NEVER get dropped. Fun to think about though
The prudent thing to do would be to form an exploritory committee.
Who knows a philanthropic desperate soccer fan might live right here in Acadiana.
I don't understand why you people don't realize that Dr. Maggard has been and is working on this. Sheesh.
