The ACC only has like, 4 lacrosse teams, and I am NOT rooting for Maryland (I live in the state).
I've been rooting for the Naval Academy for a bit, but this is just silly.
There is no excuse, lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in the country.
WHY DOES GENE HATE EVERYTHING GOOD IN LIFE.

We will have 74's dome before we have men's lax.

And it's sad too because you know BC would field a savage team full of Northeast prep school lax bros. Nonstop national titles, which actually might mean as much or more to the rest of the country as the hockey ones.

like Big Nick said, its all Title 9's fault... my nephew is a all star long stick defenseman in Fla, game is growing like crazy down there
of course he is planning on going to Gainesville or FSU for the chicks...he is MY nephew after all
Oliver Closeoff {l Wrote}:Isn't one way around the title 9 issues is just to create a mens and womens lax team? Therefore the mens/women scholarship ratio remains the same as it is today. The financial windfall from the inpending Fox ACC basketball/football TV contract and the additional land acquired from the purchase of the Brighton seminary would seem to make this a no brainer.

God forbid we give up 13 precious women's golf scholarships, for a team that finished 40 strokes behind the leader at their last match and I'd venture that no one even knew existed til I posted this.

You pull those, you have to pull 13 scholies in a men's sport. You need to find a women's sport that needs 12 scholies or a men's sport to kill to create the 12 scholies in LAX.
ryrob {l Wrote}:It's just sad that sports that no one gives a fuck about or contribute anything to the university are the ones that are keeping a legitimate sport out. No offense to any scholarship athletes on the sailing, fencing, or golf teams, but honestly, kids from those demographics don't need the scholarship money more than any other well-off student at BC, nor do they generate any revenue/interest whatsoever.
It's not like football or basketball where a lot of kids come from poor areas and it's a way out, and those sports almost pay for themselves anyway. I would go to every lax game BC had and I know many others who feel similarly.

I played lacrosse growing up and would like to see BC field a varsity team.
That said, you realize lacrosse is as much a rich, white person's sport as sailing, fencing, and golf, right?

Edit: You'd need to likely kill 2 mens sports, since we don't give out many scholies in most of the men's sports.

I more of meant that while Lax is just as preppy as those activities, at least it would generate interest for the university, something none of the the aforementioned "sports" do. It's not like they're doing anything other than wasting resources, they're not providing an education to kids who wouldn't otherwise get it and they're not aiding the university in any way. Make it club status, tell them to raise their own funds, because it's nothing but a drain.
