No we're not talking about your wife and daughter.Do we really want softball? They are typically chunky and don't like guys.
No new sports for quite awhile.

i would rather add womens LAX then softball....much cheaper since you dont have to build a stadium....and as the only D1 team in texas, the team would have a chance to be pretty good..
From what I hear Wes is right. No softball in the immediate future.. TCU has three major athletic projects to think of. Completing ACS, finishing the Olympic Center and they have to address and will, DMC soon. They want to improve Lupton so they have a full plate.
But they would also have no one to play.
Rugby would have a better chance at becoming a sport before LAX. There are several big 12 schools that have rugby teams.
Worth Hills as we know it will be demolished in the next 5-8 years as the Greek and new residence halls are built/rebuilt further North toward the stadium. The space is there if they want it--either the grass field mentioned or in the space opened by worth hills' demo, they just aren't addressing space because as so many have mentioned adding a sport, especially one like softball that requires new facilities, isn't a short-term plan.There is no place for a softball facility. If we take in that area to the immediate north of track, we lose parking that has been valuable in years past. No easy solution and I think they would rather have on campus facilities than public facilties

Catchers and corner infielders maybe, but there are plenty of hot softball girls
Not Nebraska remember they are in the Big 10 now. Missouri is the 4th member with wrestling. I'm not a wrestling fan but I know quite a few ISU fans that would be happy if more conference members added wrestling.
Which means it is likely to happen within 5 years. I'd venture to say 3 ...I'd hope it was 2, because I have a daughter who is a beast with the bat, tall and beautiful, and has a sister currently at TCU.At an alumni event, CDC told me that we would have added LAX in the BE for women, but no chance now. Stated we need to do something with existing facilities (read: gymnastics / crew / wrestling). The intramural fields are untouchable, along with the grass field. Softball is very unlikely, according to CDC.
Ask him why Baylor doesn't have a swimming/diving team?Just asked by a BU alum why we don't have a softball team? Could not give him a good answer? Anyone?

If they did, where would they put a softball facility?
We need to add Women's Mud Wrestling. Maybe the showgirls could be two sport athletes...
