Baseball team

Recommended Posts

Will we ever get a baseball team? I thought one of the requirments for us to stay IA was to add another sport. Why is baseball not being considered? We cannont think of ourselves on the same level as the big guys when we don't even offer the most all American sport in our program.

I saw the white NT with a star logo on this board for the first time today and I think that is the perfect baseball hat logo for our school. Are there hats available with that design?

Does anyone know when we can look forward to going to baseball games in Denton??

Welcome to the board!

NT has a very good club baseball team, but has not had varsity baseball since it's Southland Conference days (it was a conference requirement to have baseball back then). The SBC is an excellent baseball conference and I too would someday like to see varsity baseball again. I think $$, facilities, and Title IX will keep it from happeneing anytime soon. It's very expensive to build a field then you'd have to balance it with another women's sport to meet Title IX requirements.

Women's softball will be added next in 2004 as a varsity sport to help equal out schlorships for Title IX for the sports we already have. I think the requirement for total number of men's "team" sports was not included in the new 1-A criteria like it was orginally suggested; that would have caused NT to need to add another men's team sport (possibly baseball).
