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.



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

Cut some scholarships and make Rugby varsity. Seems like it's the only sport on campus that doesn't suck this year.


I kid of course. But the efforts of bringing in international swimming and diving recruits who can't even compete in the SEC isn't worth it.

Eta: Nm, thought there were more foreigners on the team. I thought we had a few Scandinavians on the team but I guess they graduated.
