Antiquated Title IX laws keeping LSU from a men’s soccer program

Article here. Excerpt:

'“Statistically speaking, more men walk onto teams than women do through a four-year period,” said Associate Athletics Director and Senior Women’s Administrator Miriam Segar. “We constantly monitor sports to see if the interest and ability on campus will allow us to add more women’s sports.”

The monitoring process at LSU includes surveys to gauge interest in sports throughout the area, looking at other SEC schools’ women’s programs and keeping tabs on several NCAA emerging sports.

If LSU added another men’s sport, it would widen the gap in participation between male and female student-athletes.

The addition of a men’s sport is handicapped by the Title IX requirements. If LSU added a men’s program, it would limit its options of significant interest in another women’s sport developed at the University.'
