Yes. All has to be done preserving Title IX compliance.


In VT's case, I think VT just added Women's Golf recently. I'm not sure where that leaves VT with Title IX.

Men's lacrosse has a 12.6 scholarship max. To counter it in the ACC with a women's sport, there are three I see (rowing - 20 scholarships, field hockey - 12 scholarships, and gymnastics - 12 scholarships). Gymnastics isn't currently ACC sponsored, but 3 schools have it. Adding a fourth gets sponsorship.

There are other options not currently sponsored by the ACC like Equestrian, Sand Volleyball, Bowling, Rugby, etc. But I would think VT would look at ACC ones first if the school decided it wants to do this.
