[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they explain why the men's lacrosse coaches are ok with 9/1 but the women's coaches need an extra year?[/quote]

Yes.  But first, note that the women's coaches do not frame the situation as asking for an extra year, given how much has not and will not likely take place for months.  Their reasons for delay were several, and all very reasonable IMO, including:  Many 2022s lost their spring HS season and much of their summer club season and many HS will be online only this fall with no sports; the college coaches have not seen the 2022s play since November; there are many 2022s they did not see play in November and a lot will happen in a player's development since then; they do not know how long the dead period will be extended; the coaches may not see the 2022s play again until early next summer; film is a supplement to live, in-person recruiting and they will not recruit based only on film; different parts of the country are under differing restrictions at different times, who knows what will happen with this fall season and they want to be fair to all of the 2022s; many college campuses are shut down this coming semester; the coaches have not seen their existing team members since March and with so many campuses going online, they may not see their current players again until January; they need time to assess their roster needs, consider any budget cuts re scholarship allocations and the fifth year of eligibility.

As far as men's coaches, the women's coaches said that while they support those coaches, they think the men's coaches are rushing the process. They also suggested some of the men's coaches are worried about being furloughed and think that if they are actively recruiting as of 9/1 that they will somehow be able to keep their jobs.[/quote]

Oh come on, main reason they are asking for a delay is to pad their bank accounts - if they actually have to admit which 22s they are seriously interested in on sept 1, they can’t make up the revenue they lost when camps and clinics were cancelled this summer and fall.  22s won’t come to their winter and spring clinics if they know they have no shot at being recruited. The coaches have seen enough of the 22s to have a general idea of who they want to seriously consider. This is all about money, just like everything else. [/quote]
