Board approves upgrade of Men's LAX
[Image: recruiting.jpg]

In order to achieve the objectives established in our April 2011 athletic strategic plan, the University of Richmond athletic department is adding men's lacrosse as an NCAA Division I intercollegiate sport. The addition of men's lacrosse is part of a reconfiguration of our athletic program that was approved by the University's Board of Trustees.

This reconfiguration discontinues the University's sponsorship of men's soccer and men's indoor and outdoor track and field, effective at the conclusion of their 2012-13 seasons. The athletic department will continue to sponsor the men's cross country program. We are planning for the men's club lacrosse team to transition to a Division I team by the spring of 2014.

The University will receive a new $3 million athletic endowment fund. That revenue will be a gross financial gain for the sports program, in conjunction with the costs saved from discontinuing two sports.

Current students playing in either cancelled sport will be permitted to continue attending UR under their existing scholarships. The University will also grant immediate release to student-athletes who choose a school transfer.
