Exciting news from "our" University......
1. The keys to the 3 million dollar baseball facility have been given to......you guessed it.....Women's Lacrosse
2. One of the soccer teams has been practicing on the outfield

I want to come back as a women's sport......lose money.....don't care......get stuff for free.....or I sue

FUBeAR has always thought of you as “women’s sport,” Fred. No?

I suppose it should just sit there in quiet anticipation of ED having an epiphany and bringing baseball back. That isn’t happening... glad someone can use it since they are paying for upkeep anyway.

At the risk of sounding like a liberal I'll just say that in my experience raising and coaching girl athletes I've found that they work as hard or harder than boys and complain a lot less. They are also way more fun to be around. Why not let them have an otherwise useless facility? As far as losing money goes, I think all of our teams do that.

Coached for 35 years....guys and girls.....good ones don't whine....whiners whine.....this is another example of a TANSTAAFL violation....
There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.......unless you are a female sport or a sport that always wants but never gives.....
Question......is the godly LAX program helping to fund the new turf?

Confirmed? or rumor?

Dang it. SD was hoping they would get Paladin Stadium and the baseball facility would go to the baseball team

Not surprising, this fits right in with the ED agenda. Clempson is reinstating the 4 minor sports they axed because Covid did not have the effect on them that they thought it would. Wonder if they could talk to ED. Ok nevermind. Can’t talk to a dictator.

Can you give us the inside information on the agenda of Elizabeth Davis?

Perhaps if she were to offer a public agenda or plan concerning athletics there wouldn’t be as much speculation.

I'm sure the Title IX powers that be will put it up in lights and probably take down some football years.

Maybe with a pistol beside it because they killed baseball this year as well.

Title IX didn’t kill baseball ED did.The excuses for why they actually did it have been let’s say. ...fluid.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
