[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sport is dying at the collegiate level.

You will begin to see more D1 schools cut the sport entirely from their athletic budget. [/quote]

Why do you think lacrosse is dying at the collegiate level and what's the evidence to support that idea? Are you lumping lacrosse in with all other non-football/basketball sports or is your thesis specific to only lacrosse? [/quote]

I’m not the one who said it, but my concern would be that lax is an expensive sport for schools to maintain. Mainly in that its roster size is so large - creating the need for larger facilities and higher travel costs. Tennis, swimming, baseball, soccer all have less players and are less expensive. Indoor swimming pools are expensive, but at most universities they are used by the regular students too.

Also consider the socio-economic factor. Most lax players are upper-middle class to uber wealthy. Many college admins just don’t like them, and don’t think they do much to help diversify the school.

Personally I think D1 lax is fine, but do suspect that most programs are going to have to figure out how to fund themselves. Conveniently, most of the lax alums and players families have the dough to help out.
