Rosd test this weekend. The boys will need to stay focused after taking down 2022 LSA champ TCU this past Saturday at home.

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.

Throw in wrestling,
Shaquille O'Neal wasn't the first "Shaq" at LSU.
Head Coach Larry "Coach Shack" Sciacchetano, (Pronounced Sha Kah Tan O) performed a Miracle at LSU and had the Wrestling team in the Top Ten nationally, competing with all those Traditional Wrestling Power Big 10/Big 12 schools.
Matches were in the "Assembly Center" (As it was called back then) and I attended most of them.
It very entertaining; intense, up close and personal.
If I remember correctly, LSU was the only Wrestling program in the SEC back then too.
It would go over big time with LSU fans if they brought it back.........

A casualty of title IX, which is a shame. We had a really good program. I went to a few of the meets as well when I was a kid, back in the George Atiyeh days.

SEC Wrestling would be amazing live & on SEC network/ESPN coverage.

Wrestling leading into lacrosse/baseball/softball season on SEC Network would be a tremendous amount of content. Would cut the need for 5 hours of "Hey PAWL" they keep throwing out.

This squad is proving themselves in some battles. Hopefully this pays off for the LSA conference tourney!

Wow. Schedule is over halfway done with just 5 games left to play.
Very odd dates the rest of the way with 2 home games this weekend then off for 2 weekend then 1 game then off the following weekend then a double header to close out the season. I guess they'll be rested for conference playoffs?

Looking like schedule is starting to work against them as this week's rankings have the Tigers dropping 2 spots after going 2-0 on the weekend, 8-0 on the szn
