If You Could Add One Sport at Tennessee?

[orangebloodgmc]

The problem is compliance with the law. You need to add men and women sports at the same time.

Yeah? So? Big 10 schools have men's soccer, as do ACC ones, Pac coast, Notre Dame, etc. What men's sports do we have that they don't? Or their women's ones that we don't? In other words, this issue is not really a hold-up unless the powers that be want an excuse to latch on to.

Sigh! Even as a young kid, watching Battle of The Network Stars and seeing Adrienne Barbeau in a tank top and skimpy shorts refreshed me!

It was enlightening.

Men’s soccer

I did not realize we only had a women’s team until reading this thread. Huh.

 

[joevol33]

You sure as hell wouldn’t be on the team.

I caught one yesterday! Finally!

[Just a VolinTears]

If you're talking purely a money perspective I think men's soccer or w gymnastics would bring in the most revenue

Oh, yeah. My nephew from Knoxville was a damn good soccer player though a bit small. He was all-state, ODP, etc. His blood ran orange, but played at Vandy!

Women's Flag football, becoming quite popular for high school girls here in Georgia.

 

[Special Ed]

Some sort of new sport in which our athletes could exact revenge against the refs who have screwed UT over the years;
A referee shaming contest?

Whatever it takes! nah, he swallowed the lure almost, but he was okay, swam off strong, and never saw him again

Topless beach volleyball. Would actually be a revenue sport.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Beach volleyball. No brainer. I feel like half the school would be up to support these athletes.

Certainly not soccer. Keep that in Europe.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Certainly not soccer. Keep that in Europe.

It’s already here, and in the rest of North America, and South America, and Africa, and Asia, and the Middle East.

Personally, I love American football because it’s what I grew up watching, but soccer is the world’s greatest team sport. I’d put baseball up there too.

 

[volhick]

It's gotta be Cornhole!

Hockey!! Those Ice Vols have D1 and D3 teams. They’re crushing it!!

I remember Battle of the Network Stars, and I remember Ms. Barbeau...
but I don't recall the euphemism "refreshed."

Wrestling, I think we could be compete at a good level and we have a good feeder high school programs in the state. Not saying we would be Iowa or something, but I think it would be good. I mean we have a gold medal in women's from King University in Bristol.

Agreed,

The AAU Wresting in the state has improved dramatically over the last couple of decades. This has helped the HS teams become very competitive.

If wrestling became a varsity sport, i would be a season ticket holder as soon as they became available.
