Let's start with men's track - surely our track is in compliance. And to balance out, add women's tumbling.
Don’t we have a women’s gymnastics team? Or are you talking about just somersaults down a hill?

The problem about bringing men’s track back I was told was that it counts for three men’s sports (outdoor track, indoor track and cross country) which means you would need 3 additional women’s sports

I think from a competitive standpoint considering how long it would take to compete with such powerhouses as Miami and such plus the financial aspects that would take away from ensuring the football team is good every season, I don't foresee this happening anytime soon, if at all.
Shame, as I love baseball, but looking at it realistically, I just don't think it is feasible.

Equestrian was a great add for a school like SMU. And we are now dominating.
Is Croquet a NCAA D1 sport?

SMU alum Tom Dundon owns the national pro league so maybe you are on to something there....

Curious to know how TCU pulls off having Men's Track & Field and Baseball. I realize they don't have Men's Soccer anymore but what are the trade-offs in their situation? I think SMU is content to continue to short-change the fan.

You can do math i assume? We have been at 6 M in TV revenue - up from about 4. They have been at 30M for a long time. Its not that difficult to figure out - We are lucky we had donors that allowed us to hang in there that long just providing the basics.
