Agreed....I just read it and it was like a mini novel with no happy ending. 5 pages is impressive with no basis in fact and TOTAL BS. And yes ponydad knows us well...so we have one who knows who we are out there....

There are a ton of signs this could be I'm the works, like June/Orsini implying a conference change, a Big East president mentioning us as an expansion candidate, etc. With TCU going, my money is us, UofH, and UCF to the BE assuming nova stays IAA.

All is moot if the blithering NCAA would institute a playoff giving every team a chance and splitting up the TV revenues based on national finish.

Agreed. SMU has no reason to make lacrosse a DI program unless it involves admission to another conference. Lacrosse not only brings more scholarships that must be given to athletes, but also brings travel and coaching expenses.

SMU is not elevating lacrosse for mere pleasure.

Not only 'splitting up' but they'll be much more $$$ than anyone could realize to be split up. The pinheads today have a hard time realizing this b/c they're so interested in protecting their cartel interests. Revenue could be so much higher than the NFL's revenue on a playoff system because every friend, supporter, cousin & dog will have a team in the hunt. How many division 1 programs are there? A lot!!! Much more than NFL teams. NOW THAT'S CAPITALISM!!!

You can bet the cartel members are fighting this thing b/c they'll lose a lot of five & four star athletes to the Boise's, Utah St's. & SMU's of the world. They're trying their darn-dest to make Div 1 football with no more than 60 teams or so. Such pinheads!

Lacrosse is big to only a few BE schools. ND, Syracuse, Georgetown are about it. Now lacrosse is huge in the ACC as is soccer. UVa, UNC, MD, Wake, Duke (except when they have parties) are all big time lacrosse programs. Hmm - Rice and SMU to the ACC. Duke makes amends to SMU for sending us Pye by insisting that we be added to the ACC.

Rumors are such great fun. Keeps everyone occupied while we wait for the recruiting roundup...right PonyPride?

Please stop sending this discussion totally off the deep end by mentioning Rice.

this discussion was at the bottom of the abyss with the first post.
