QuoteGotta be soccer!  There are a whole lot more teams out there playing soccer than an east coast-focused sport like LaX:

Lacrosse:  132 men's, 157 women's
Soccer:  383 men's, 406 women's

Cross-Country: 249 men's, 274 women's
Track: 249 men's, 259 women's
Indoor Track: 221 men's, 229 women's

Total: 719 men's, 762 women's

POINT: The T&F and CC board will be use almost year around while the other ones really just have one season.  Many athletes in those other sports will also be in Track & Field, so it is more inclusive.

Track and Cross-Country.  Track is the one sport where both sexes and those of all sorts of builds can all participate together.  The strong football players now sometimes actually appreciate those wimps who turn out to be great long distance runners.  These meets are run at the same time, so the women and men will both be able to comment easily on each others team, whereas in other sports, teams go to different places, prohibiting them from watching each other as much. 


QuoteSoccer... the worlds game!  Do the math and see how many people follow the game.  Put on a shirts, socks, shoes and a ball.  No courts, no sticks, no special equipment just plain passion!  Must build a D-III soccer board!!!

Guess what?  Cross-Country doesn't even need the ball.  And other areas around the world are not on this message board, at least not yet.
