Title IX will make you add those women’s scholarships.

I wish LAX required travel partners.

Already have more female spots than men's

SMU will be a great addition. Gives northern schools a chance for better weather games in February and March

Congratulations to the Mustangs. Lacrosse is a great game.

I bet Mike Norvell's contract could fund Lacrosse.

SMU is settling into the ACC.

No need for travel partner if the school is rich and has enough traveling budget.

Baseball on deck ?

How hard would it be to buy Dallas Baptist?

Saying there’s another school west of the Mississippi whose conference doesn’t sponsor LAX that would love an ACC LAX invite.

This ACC fan would love to have the Utes today, for all sports.

Methodists and Baptists don’t mix

From a lower middle class Asian guy's perspective, lacrosse is a preppy (white) kid's sport, and SMU fits the bill.

Nothing against SMU. I actually like the school.

I agree with you for the most part but do you know who has been said to be the greatest lacrosse player in the history of college lacrosse?

Hint: He wasnt white.

Yep, you got it. Jim Brown was just a great all around athlete. He started on the bb team and if I recall correctly averaging 16 points a game while also doing track and field, and he was so dominant in lacrosse that its said that the rules in lacrosse were changed to contain someone so dominant.

The game is the invention of First Americans.

Osceola, the Seminole war leader, played a version of lacrosse.
