I noticed on "Sports Center" that some conferences have women's beach volleyball. So, it must now be sanctioned by the NCAA. When are we going to add it. Talk about a potential revenue sport.

Yes it started as a D1 emerging sport in 2011 and was fully sanctioned by the NCAA in 2016. You get six scholarships and it obviously is not that expensive. It would be a nice add for sure.

A quick search shows Tulane and Central Arkansas are the only "close" DI schools participating so far, but Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, and UAB have teams somewhat near to Dallas as well.

There are 54 total D1 programs so it is definitely being adopted quickly compared to some other emerging sports.

Go team. In seat beer services please.

I don't even care about wins and losses just a team that makes 18 year old linemen think SMU is the place for me.

If we're talking about female beach volleyball, it could be a good revenue sport, and help with football and basketball recruiting. If we're talking about men's beach volleyball; then the Sig Ep's house is over there, for your information.

We don't need anymore men's sports. This helps with Title IX.

If I am not mistaken....TCU has a beach volleyball team.

You are right! They just started it last season.

Seems like an obvious add for SMU let's do it.

Doesn't fit the smu culture. It's all about equestrian, rowing, golf, tennis, cross country.

Drop mens and women's soccer, replace with mens lacrosse and women beach volleyball.

Save 5 M on a new soccer field nobody cares about, and add two revenue producing sports, both of which overlap in our target student geography. ,and one of which we already have a d-1 facility for.

It would be easy to be an AD. Just listen to me and implement my suggestions.

I need an application for women's volleyball recruiter.

perfect solution. I checked TCU's beach volleyball schedule and we just follow their lead.

So in on this
