The obvious read of the math makes this outcome more likely than not. Lacrosse is closer to fencing or softball than football or basketball in terms of revenue.

Barring some development in Congress or a collective realization that the entire collegiate athletic system is looking grim enough to be facing ruin, however, it doesn’t look great for the future of college lacrosse unless they can actually start generating a few dollars for the schools, at least enough to earn their keep.
