Thoughts? With the number if gyms all around the state, one would think we would have a chance to assemble a team. It would be another draw to the campus and Reed Arena. The SEC has several teams in the mix. FWIW.

It already exists... Not sure where the new gym is but there was an entire gym of gymnastics stuff before

Wouldn't we have to have a corresponding men's sport? That could increase the cost.

The below message was on a banner and announced at the Metroplex Challenge in Ft. Worth on Jan. 31st.
The NCAA D1 schools that competed: Arkansas, OU, Iowa State, and LSU.
Each gymnast that was from Texas marched in with her out of state team waving a TEXAS flag.
Verbatim quote that I took a picture of:
HELP PUT TEXAS ON THE MAP OF NCAA D1 WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS!!
Texas A&M is considering a women's D1 team. Feel strongly that the lone
state state should compete at the highest collegiate level of our great
sport? You can let them know at:

I don't think you have to have a corresponding number of mens sports to offset womens, I think it's the other way around.
We added Equestrian a few years ago partially to comply with Title IX, and I highly doubt the AD is just itching to take on a bunch of expenses for an additional varsity sport. Maybe if one of our existing women's sports went away.

I would love to see it added. I don't see how it would be too expensive. Expensive, of course, but not toooo. My daughter is a gymnast, a minority, and excels academically. Her goal is a college scholarship. Her mom, dad, and sisters would love for her to stay local. She is young so there is time. I realize it is unlikely to be added but there is hope nonetheless.

Well there goes the football team.
