LONG question re: SEC women’s sports (move along if you’re looking to be a jackass)

I really enjoy women’s gymnastics.

Texas A&M offers gymnastics as a club sport, but not as an NCAA-sponsored activity.

The same is true of all Texas universities: Texas is a US hotbed for gymnastics but doesn't offer the D-I sport in college. Experts predict championships if that changes. - DallasNews.com

Madison Kocian would've loved to keep a family in-state college tradition, but she'd long known it likely wouldn't be possible.

The 2016 U.S. Olympic gymnast and Dallas native had several relatives on her dad's side attend the University of Texas. Many on her mom's side went to Texas A&M.

Kocian is now in her junior season at UCLA.

Her experience in Los Angeles includes a 2018 team national championship and five event All-America honors. Kocian wouldn't change her decision to compete for the illustrious gymnastics program.

But she's wondered what would've happened if she had the option to compete in college gymnastics in her home state.

"You can ask every Texas athlete out there that's going to another school right now: Would they have stayed home in Texas? And I think 90 percent of them would've said yes," Lane said. "Once you have one school to add [gymnastics] in Texas that's Division I, it's going to be such a fight for those kids that want to stay."

In the last four Olympic cycles, four women's gymnastics team members lived or trained in Texas. Three of the last four Olympic all-around champions -- Simone Biles (2016), Nastia Liukin (2008) and Carly Patterson (2004) -- are from Texas.

Because Texas A&M offers volleyball, tennis, golf, women’s swimming, diving, soccer, track and field, equestrian, softball, and hoops, we don’t have enough scholarships available for more women in other sports.

Title IX requires that women and men be provided equitable opportunities to participate in sports. Title IX does not require institutions to offer identical sports but an equal opportunity to play

Scholarships: Title IX requires that female and male student-athletes receive athletics scholarship dollars proportional to their participation

So here’s my question: Would getting rid of women’s hoops drastically hurt us as a university?

Gary Blair’s WBB team has won a national championship more recently than most other A&M teams, so it’d be a controversial move (to say nothing of the fact that Aggie Vic Schaefer has made it excruciatingly clear that he wants to come home to Aggieland when Blair retires).

But WBB is the singular women’s sport that’s painful for most to watch.
Our women’s soccer atmosphere is comparable to UNC’s, and the ladies are awesome.
Softball isn’t going anywhere.
And equestrian is successful as heck.

Would you be willing to share your thoughts on the subject?
