Coaches--both men and women are working to make sure Lacrosse is exempt from the new proposed legislation IF it gets passed. There are too many dates, much more confusing about what you can do and when. Sept 1 of junior year for everything is just simple and easier to regulate. Plus, lacrosse hasn't even had a chance to see how the new legislation is actually going to work. It will be 2-3 years before there is a better sense of how things will be moving forward.

Generally speaking, the NCAA is reactionary. The issue of early recruiting was not on their radar before the lacrosse coaches put it there. Likewise, the days of 'one size fits all' legislation are over. Field Hockey coaches were on board with the lacrosse concept but the Sept 1 date is not ideal for them or any fall sports for that matter due to the timing of their seasons. Coaching groups are scrambling right now to get what they want in place before the NCAA tries to impose it upon them. Stay tuned....
