Message: [QUOTE="fieldystick, post: 4226928, member: 8152"] I have a suspicious that if GT added men's lacrosse (we won't) that we'd actually add women's soccer alongside it. The ACC conference bylaws were actually written in such a way to tailor to that we don't currently have women's soccer. We are the only ACC member that does not sponsor it. "However, the ACC itself requires sponsorship of only four sports—football, men's basketball, women's basketball, [B]and either women's soccer or women's volleyball[/B]." - Regarding gender ratio: when I started at Tech, the ratio was close to 70/30 and GT almost qualified as a single gender school for athletics per NCAA bylaws. However, over the last decade, that ratio has moved south of 60/40. Last year's freshman class was 44% female - sourced below. So I don't think even in theory we could get away with not adding a women's sport with men's lacrosse.[ATTACH type="full" alt="Screen Shot 2022-04-01 at 7.17.13 AM.png"]216191[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
