Message: [QUOTE="UofLgrad07, post: 636233, member: 3116"] Two points: 1) No one wants to be like WVU. :p 2) The major problem with sponsoring a rifle team is that the NCAA allows only 3.6 scholarships for a coed rifle program. That might not be enough to make up for an additional 12.6 scholarships for men's lax. There are similar issues with NCAA fencing (5 scholarships) and bowling (5 scholarships). On the flip side, women's gymnastics has a 12 scholarship limit and would almost perfectly balance out the addition of men's lacrosse. In addition, we know that the ACC was interested in sponsoring women's gymnastics as a conference sport so there is an additional benefit there). This all assumes though that UofL would be required to add a women's sport to balance out the addition of a men's sport (something it may or may not actually have to do). [/QUOTE]
