UCF joins the Sunbelt for Soccer

[Cajunrunner]

Eventually Soccer television rights will dwarf what P5 football gets today.

Time to establish a foothold.

When? By 2095?

Or when a bunch of politicians outlaw American football?

This is just silly posting . . .

I am sold! Put it on the list of priorities!

Priority # 1 30 million more for the football stadium.
Priority # 2 10 million for the baseball locker rooms.
...
Priority # 10 Tear down the Cox building and build the Athletic Quad, 4 Million.
...
Priority # 110 Raise 4 million to fund another women's sport for title 9 compliance (see priority # 111)
Priority # 111 Start Men's Soccer with another cool 4 million.

A hundred million or so should get the ball rolling. Start those bake sales!

Crawfish you are the best.

Seeing some speculation on csnbbs on new Div I requirements, one of which is the requirement to sponsor between 18-20 NCAA sponsored sports. If that's true, men's soccer is either in the cards or we're not staying in Div I.

Or maybe we start up swim sports and get Farmer back.

Very interesting development..

I think that would kill a majority of D1 programs right there.

If this happens and we manage to stay D1, whatever sports we sponsor will be whatever sports the teams around us sponsor.

Cool, thanks! Do you know about what time? I may try to catch a game after a round of frisbee golf one day.

They start showing up around 10ish. By the way, on the Friday or Saturday before, a cat goes and cuts the soccer field with a PUSH MOWER! There's usually a family set up under one of the pavilions serving various Latino food and goodies.

I play disc golf, and we've pretty much had to abandon playing there because they set up tents and such in the middle of the fairways.

Why would that kill a majority of D1 programs. To be in D1 now, it requires schools to sponsor 16 sports. 2-4 more is doable for most schools. ULM for example, current sponsors 17. UL currently sponsors 16. With women's golf and maybe Beach volleyball that would be 18. There also may be a couple of Olympic sports that could be added on the cheap.

I like your idea of adding two women's sports. It would put us ahead of the Title IX crurve and shouldn't be too expensive to run. Oh, and by the way, going o the beach and having a few beers isn't too shabby either!
