New Sports
Posted: Thu May 18, 2023 4:56 pm
Would like to know everyone's take on our new sports we are adding:
Stunt, bowling and beach volleyball
For those that care:
Stunt - I did not even know what this was until Scott posted about, which also S/O for all the links to these three sports most people don't know a lot about in depth. Feel like I learned a lot, reading this at my office and not doing work.
But I am actually happy on this one, feel like to be apart of a growing sport is exciting. Maybe can help with getting students on campus and get more females attending WIU athletics events. I feel like this is perfect for something to bring the kids to on a weekend.
Bowling: Love it! When I was a student loved bowling at the union. So hopefully they can remodel and bring the lanes back. Would be a big selling point to recruits you can practice on campus and then grab a bite to eat upstairs. Also foot traffic to get students to come support would be really easy.
Beach Volleyball: This one I am not a fan of that much. Not sure where we are going to play since those courts in north quad are not in great shape. Also when the season runs isn't great weather in the midwest. Would of liked to see rifle added. Fits the mold of Leathernecks perfect.
Other wise, happy to see Bubb pushing forward and not just sitting in the office collecting a check like the last AD...
