nationally ranked doesn't mean they were actually good. there's not that many teams. it's not difficult to be ranked.

smaller sports will never matter in regards to this AD's job. All Joe has to do with that sport is make sure the coach keeps shite in line and nobody gets in trouble. if we ranked all the sports at LSU in order of importance, swimming and diving would be last or second to last even if they were winning SEC titles.

Gotta respectfully disagree here. The new tennis and gymnastics facilities say otherwise.

Swimming is kind of a mid-tier sport in most universities. It's clearly lower on the totem pole than Football, Basketball and Baseball but then you'd be crazy to think more people care about what's going on with the Beach Volleyball team than the swim team imo. (No offense to any volleyball players in here)

LSU's swim team isn't prestigious but it's capable; there's been success in the past and there's no reason to not aim for some SEC titles and winning relays at nationals
