Lipscomb Alum here.
As long as Lipscomb has been division 1, they’ve never shied away from the big payday match ups in all sports. For a small program they’ve had some pretty good results although sporadically. During my time, they beat Indiana at Assembly Hall and gave Kentucky all they could handle at Rupp. I watched our baseball team beat #1 Vandy at Dugan Field with David Price on the mound.
As far as football, it’s long been the policy of Lipscomb University to not establish a football program because “football brings in sin and debauchery.”
Why that doesn’t apply to the academy, I have no idea, but they are starting to churn out power 5 prospects.
Not sure Lipscomb could handle the sin and debauchery that comes with the SEC full time.
