COVID year BS has been going on now for years. Fifth and 6th year (COVID plus a redshirt) women taking spots and playing time away from younger players everywhere - especially at high end lacrosse schools. One of the worst decisions (and that is saying something) the NCAA ever made. Thankfully, the 2023-2024 season is the end of the extra COVID year. The HS grad classes of 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 were all progressively hosed. The 2020s, in particular didn't even have a final HS senior season.
Taking spots , really. Whatever happened to coming in, competing and earning your spot. Nothing given , everything earned. This is Division 1 Athletics we are taking about.
Only so many girls can be on the field. If someone transfers in, especially an experienced player, yes they will most likely be taking spots. Not right, and could have been avoided if the NCAA wasn’t so incompetent
