Add me to the list for Ice Hockey (Also for the record I was born and raised south of New Orleans) my big 3 forgetting title nine sexist law

1) real soccer (men's and if a girl is good enough then she plays here)
2) hockey men's only - women's is a waste of time and looks like its in slow motion
3) rugby - don't know it as well as I would like to but if added I would become completely knowledgable
4) lacrosse - if Jim brown was an all American in lacrosse then it's a man game!

I would like men's soccer added by the SEC. One reason why I would like the SEC to add UVA and UNC, it would put us closer to it being sponsored by the SEC.

SC has it already...I likes.

I would love to have men's ice hockey and soccer. I would be OK with adding lacrosse. Couldn't care less about the rest of them.

Alabama alreay has a rowing team. Not sure if they have a men's team or not.

Never thought about boxing but it would be interesting. Not needed I think.


I'd like to see Rugby, Ice Hockey, Frisbee Golf brought up.

Frisbee Golf so we can claim that national championship a few years ago.

Men's soccer and Ice Hockey would be the two I'd most like to see.

Collegiate NASCAR sounds interesting, though to say the least. I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I think I would watch that. It would also be a great boon for the Mechanical Engineering program and they could even partner up with BRCC's Jerry Lane auto mechanic college.

Would support NCAA Stock Car racing.

I think a lot of people have that in their lists.

It's kind of like Baseball They only have 9.9 scholarships to give out to a Men's team, under the current rules. Women's teams have 14 scholarships and both squads have avg rosters in the 20's.

I'd like to see it be something different than NASCAR racing, they already have competitions for fuel efficient cars in college and Mississippi State is very competitive in it. But I can't deny that I would watch the shite out of an SEC championship at Talladega.

It would be great considering the fact that there are several NASCAR level tracks across the southeast that sit empty much of the year. Talladega, Daytona, Charlotte, Texas Motor Speedway, Bristol, Atlanta, ect could all work.

What would be a great way to differentiate the collegiate thing from NASCAR would be fuel-efficient or alternative fuel vehicles. This would allow teams to qualify for more federal research grants and bring in revenue to the university in more than just ticket sales, TV revenue, and corporate sponsorship while having the added benefit of keeping it still an academic endeavor. Also, races that have only half as many laps would make them shorter and probably more entertaining to the causal fan.

Every school has car teams that students build. It would be cool if they were more of a stock car type.

Also, it would be a reason for young drivers to go to college, it could be used as a platform for underprivileged guys who have racing talent to get recruited to the different racing circuits.

shite I think we're on to something.

I personally think Wrestling should come back to the SEC. Great sport. I had a family member go out of the south to wrestle in college.
