Would love to see some of these sports added as official NCAA accredited programs. Throw in wrestling, and men’s soccer.

Realistically, LSU would have to add in a women's equivalent in order to remain Title IX compliant. The natural pairing would be women's lacrosse.
Overall, LSU could add on to the woccer facility & get year round use out of that space. But 2 new coaching staffs & 12.6 scholarships per squad & the team travel would come to about a $10M start up for each program to get going. Then about $2M+ per tram every year to keep each going.
Not impossible at LSU but certainly would need a deep financial dive.

The added Spring TV content on SEC Network, tickets & concessions sales certainly would help. But I really don't know if it would be enough to self sustain.
