I don’t see why the NCAA does not push the lax season back a month . The NCAA baseball tourney goes way into the summer . With the vaccines being put out and a natural drop off in viral levels I could see a normal Championship happening July 4th as opposed to Memorial Day weekend . That way they don’t have to grant an extra year to anyone and can get back to normal faster .
I completely agree, been saying this for some months now, though I don’t think it’s even being discussed. Too bad!
Have to think covid situation will be better if lax season is delayed a couple of months, but vaccine administration is moving too slowly right now and a meaningful percentage of folks are declining to be vaccinated. Too many moving parts. Infection and exposure will still be an issue this spring even with a vaccine - there is potential for missed practices, games, travel limitations (due to both covid and budgets), etc. I would love a delay if it means a normal season for my daughter, but...being honest...I don't think lacrosse will be viewed as a sport worth jumping through logistical hoops to change plans already in place.
I don't see how the NCAA doesn't grant spring sports a waiver soon since the season the season is about to begin for many teams. I suppose they could limit to only one additional year of eligibility specifically due to covid, though.
Once again waffling about virus that is 99.8 overcome by students at the college age. NCAA should be finding ways TO PLAY not excuses on why not to play.
Explain to me how you personally arrived at 99.8%. Bottom line is, I highly doubt schools will spend the same amount of resources on a non-revenue sport as they have on football and basketball. Yes, non-revenue. I know many of you detest to hear that but it's the truth.
