Baseball/Track
Anyone hearing anything about starting Baseball/Softball teams for the Big East for 2013? I realize there's no room for a field, but are there other options. What about Men's track/field? I'd rather baseball myself.
Baseball/Track
Mens track&field will return. Title IX will also call for a women's sport which will be softball. I know where they are going to play but since the deal with the city is still being negotiated I will refrain from disclosing.
Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally

I think LAX would be good. What size field do they use? Soccer field or smaller?
Re: Baseball/Track
Ok. You guys can go on with your wish lists. I just told you what is actually happening. Not speculation. The wheels are already in motion on these two. That's not to say that we wont add more in the future, but those are first

We might start stealing some students from TCU.

Re: Baseball/Track
We already have world class track coaches so men's track should be a no brainer. Women's softball is the logical choice and that side of the house.

Dave Wollman will have us back in the top 25 within 4 years if not the first or second year of resuscitating the program.

You're right about that.
Re: Baseball/Track
So we still have the coaches in place even without a track team? How does that work?

They are currently coaching women's track and field only since we don't have men's.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
