2016 Men's Lax

Postby Boston Pony » Mon Feb 15, 2016 5:24 pm

Not sure if it's been discussed here yet - Lacrosse team has beaten Clemson, LSU & Texas clubs so far this season. Laxpower have them listed 7th in country in their 'RPI' ranking early this season. I believe the win over UT is the first in a number of seasons. Nice start to the season for the club program that has improved year after year.

We have several that were recruited to d1 lax programs but wanted a life and a better education - should be a nice run.

The newly built LAX field is the nicest one I've ever seen. Of course, I've only seen about half a dozen--but it is definitely the nicest. I'm glad the teams have a quality facility to practice and play on.

I'm not sure any of the D1 top 20 teams are slouches in the education department. Maybe Towson?

Stated before, but better chance for Women's Lacrosse than Men's at varsity level. Number of scholarships (used to be 12.5) and schools close by (none within a few hundred miles) would make it expensive for the men. It's great at club level and while the Texas schools aren't powerhouses within the national level, the top school generally gets into the Top 25. It would be great to build the club program up and make the national playoffs.

Men's lacrosse is a fun conversation at least.

Do you play in the BigEast with Denver and Airforce because they are closer or the ACC with Duke, ND and UNC and hope that helps as a foot in the ACC all-sports door?

Its about 50MM to endow the program in order to make it a D1 sport. Gotta have a women's team, too so double it to 100MM.............

I would prefer the ACC; however, it would take a miracle to make that happen. The NCAA currently gives the ACC a waiver (more or less permanent) on the requirement to maintain a six team league and get the automatic bid. Syracuse absolutely doesn't want to add anymore teams, the other members are less than thrilled with the idea. This allows the schools to save money by scheduling a lot of regional schools or historically important rivals. Syracuse wants to keeps its games with Hobart, Colgate, Cornell, Albany...etc (All are shorter trips than Dallas to Houston).

The other idea that people rarely mention is the Big Ten. That would allow SMU to be on the Big Ten network across the Midwest and show the flag in the Eastern Cities that SMU historically has pulled students out of - Rutgers (NY/NJ/CT tri-state area), Maryland/Hopkins (Baltimore/DC corridor). I would prefer this to the Big East and get AF and Denver.
