Not having 3 of the sports for the cup really hurt... atleast we are getting baseball and possibly soccer soon, but what is our excuse for Men's swimming and diving?

$$$$$$

I think that answers why we do not have Men's Soccer, Baseball, we dropped Men's Tennis, and no Men's Swimming and Diving

Soccer, Tennis, and Baseball are expensive I understand that, but how expensive can swimming and diving be?

could it also be a title 9 issue? if we would have to add more womens sports, it could become more expensive.

In the 80's our mens soccer program consistantly made the playoffs and split with the ponies every year. The walk on program was huge. There are very few scholarships available in Texas which is why places like Midwestern have strong programs. With the wealth of youth tallant in the metroplex it is an absolute no brainer that we should bring back the mens program.

Add womens fieldhockey and bring back soccer. Because of the numbers, we will have a much better chance of success with a soccer program over baseball.

I thought they were fixing to with addition of FAU, maybe I read that they would like to in the near future.

I know in Men's Swimming/Diving Sun Belt added S. Illinois recently as an affiliate member.

I beleive that FIU & maybe Denver are the only Sun belt schools that sponsor men's soccer teams. FIU's men's team plays in CUSA.

But baseball is a Spring Sport, where NT has needs exposure. It would also be a crowd favorite and there is enough Div. 1 talent in the Metroplex and Texas where the recruiting would not be a problem.

The answer imo is not adding more sports to dilute the funding even more, it is to do better in the sports that you do have. Only WKU has more sports so NT already has an advantage on many of the Belt schools. Last place finishes in softball, football and men's basketball plus bad performances in tennis and swimming are the problems.

I am not to excited about the addition of baseball for this reason. Even though it would be great to have a team, I don't see were the funding is going to come from other than from other sports budgets.

Don't forget that LaLa won the National Championship in "Water Skiing" this year.

That sure would suck to have to play soccer in CUSA....

That is not surprising..... There is a big incentive to stay up on your skis there...Alligators..

Wright Waters has mentioned several trimes that if we have 4 schools wanting to compete as a con ference the SBC would include taht sport. I believe some of the schools play soccor in other conferences (WKU in Gateway?)
