[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is lacrosse even a sport where recruitment is such a big deal? I get football and basketball. Those are the marquee sports that bring in revenue, tv exposure, and donors. But lacrosse? No one goes to the games, it's never on tv, and I don't see donors opening their checkbooks simply because their school lacrosse team had a winning season.[/quote] Wow, you are dating yourself! 1. Good attendance (if not on football levels) at DI lacrosse schools 2. It's on TV all the time! On a national level, ESPN televises many college and pro games now -- and in this area, Comcast Sports televises games of area teams like UVA/Hopkins/Maryland. 3. There are some very generous donors from the lacrosse community -- the biggest athletic donors Yale has had in decades were two brothers who had played lacrosse and donated the money to build a lacrosse stadium.[/quote]
