The same thing has happened in Men's pro sports when they have expanded their team counts.

Championship uncertainty is great for all sports


Agreed the games are better and on any given day the competition is closer. Ultimately, though, anyone want to bet against Maryland winning this year? Going back to 1991 there have been only 5 programs to win a national championship, so I share your excitement around new blood. But 4 of those 5 teams are in the top ten (UNC, Maryland, NW, Virginia) and one is the odds on favorite to win it again. I'd like to see someone else win it, but MD looks dominant. Interested to see who wins the BC/UNC game this weekend as well. Women's lacrosse is definitely growing and that growth is making for interesting games week in and week out. But until someone other than the traditional powerhouses actually wins the whole thing, the game won't truly take the next step. Anyone have a bet as to who the next non-traditional powerhouse national championship winner will be?? And when??
