Easy . . . wrestling.

Toughest sport - on par with football - but you need even more endurance.

My son wrestles and if he gets good enough to compete at the next level, it will have to be far away from here.

Doesn't stop the sec from having rowing, swimming/diving, golf, and gymnastics.

Wresting and Quidditch?

Men's soccer should be top of the list. Kentucky and South Carolina are the only two schools that currently field a team.

I would love to see hockey, but not many people in the south grow up playing it, sadly.

I was visiting my gf at Southern Miss the other day and saw that they also have a Quidditch team. It's apparently kind of a big deal.

The wrestling coach in high school always tried to get me to join the team because they didn't have anyone in my weight class. I have tons of respect for wrestlers, but it seems like it would be the least fun sport I can possibly think of.

Auburn never should have dropped basketball after Sir Charles left.

Adding sports would be dumb in the big picture especially with Title IX. Student athletes should get increased stipends so the right move is to eliminate some of these sports that aren't making money.

Tile IX has nothing to do with sports by the way, the universities are just using sports to cut funding. Judges are applying it incorrectly and nosey ting original intent to be over used.

No. Just no. Let's still try to pretend they're still "student athletes".

LSU fans would never let that happen. They have this hysterical fear of all things basketball because they think it will somehow take away from baseball and football.

Wallball with a racket ball in a racket ball room. Very little rules and just let them go at it.
