Liberty has not added a new sport since the addition of women's lacrosse (09), women's swimming (10) and women's field hockey (11) and the discontinuation of wrestling (again). Since our school has grown since that time, and continues to grow, what should be the next sport added when the athletics department goes into expansion mode again.

If Rifle is chosen, look for ole BJ to enroll back at LU, and this sport will take him to the Olympics. :clapping

I thought he'd be applying for the head coaching position.

Rugby! All these schools have team: VMI, Radford, VA Tech. UVA, Washington and Lee, etc.

Rugby is the third largest TV event in the world (behind the Olympics and the Soccer World Cup.

Rugby is now in the Olympics too.

There's rugby sevens (which they play in the Olympics) and then rugby union. Would be awesome to have the ability to field both of those

You realize that was 2007, right? Cabela's is the current sponsor. Here are the 2016 standings. FWIW, LU is 128th. :gonefishin

As for what sport is added next, I guess we should just ask JLFJR. No one else's opinion matters, right?
The real poll should be: What is JR's favorite sport not currently sponsored at LU?
I'll start - "King of the Mountain"
