Don't forget that there are already very strong affiliations with Duke and UNC due to basketball and the kids are naturally turning into lacrosse fans as well now that they are playing the sport. One of the main impediments is that NC is still largely a public school state and the public school AD's are struggling to come up with the funds to cover lacrosse. Eventually, lacrosse will take over baseball and the AD's will use the baseball money to fund lacrosse. In some cases, the parents are covering the cost of fielding lacrosse teams. The kids want it that badly. North Carolina is only one state that I can give as an example. The current hotbed areas will only be that way for another 10 years and then lacrosse will largely be a national sport. It will be fun to watch.
