[QUOTE="DH9387, post: 313569, member: 547"] The main reason is most likely due to the fact that we field the fewest total sports teams in the conference. We compete in 17 varsity sports while UNC leads with 27. Duke (26), BC (25), UVA (25), and ND (24) make up the rest of the top 5. If we added women's golf (which seems like a no brainer since we already compete in men's golf) along with men's and women's soccer and lacrosse, that would bring us to 22 and put us in the top half of the conference (T - 7th). Obviously adding varsity sports right now is a bit of a pipe dream (both for financial reasons within the athletic department and the fact that we would have to procure a significant amount of land to field soccer and lacrosse), but it could be something that we look into if our athletic revenue continues to grow as Swofford and ESPN predict. I personally have wanted GT to start buying properties in home park with the hope of one day expanding the campus northward past 10th St. If this were ever to happen, maybe they could add fields for some new sports on that newly procured property.
