I whole heartedly support this idea. Bravo. LSU needs more women's sports like this. Its a sport I can watch even if the LSU women go winless.

When is the indoor v-ball season? SInce sand is spring/summer, basically a few of the girls already on scholly will play and not be that big of a monetary hit?

Title ix. Prob no men's sports will be added. Except we will continue to give full schollys to womens sports and not to all men sports.

Tiger Authority, explain what you mean here if you would. I know the basics behind Title IX but am not sure what this has to do with football per se. But I presume that these coeds will be on a full athletic scholly while our nationally ranked & revenue producing baseball players will continue to split 11. something amongst the whole team.

Sand volley ball is growing nationally and worldwide. Maybe this will attract some hot Brazillian girls to choose LSU for school.

This is worth it just for ladies in bikinis

not sure if it gets much more gay than focusing on men's soccer somehow during a discussion of girl's sand volleyball.

as to athletic budget implications, they could save money on unis by going shirts-vs-skins...?

Since this isn't an NCAA or SEC sanctioned sport if they wanted could they sell beer?

That would be epic!

No kidding, it's what happens when people get to spend other people's money. "Rights" are born.
