In case you need assurance that there are very few people in this world that care about lacrosse breakdancing just got in the Olympics in 2024. A sport filled with very average athletes with even fewer that could play another sport. If it wasn’t for title9 women’s lacrosse wouldn’t exist!

Completely idiotic statement spoken by someone who undoubtedly has zero idea which end of their body speaks and which end poops.

What kind of women hating failure does someone have to be to come onto a site about women's lacrosse to spew such animonsity. Sorry your son's squash team got cut but hating young women will not get his team back.

The problem with womens lacrosse is us parents are probably the most motivated and close knot of any sport parents. Then add in a very robust and very costly club travel circuit that we all started at a young age with everything geared towards playing in college. Problem is in college only about 20 teams are relevant with most of our kids playing at average to way below average schools where no one cares except us the parents. In the end, no one cares about the sport except us. If you can comes to grips with that you will enjoy the ride

Its the same in almost every other team sport a handful of teams are relevant just about every year and a few teams jump up for a short run. That said playing on any college team can be a great experience and well worth it.

Says the one who most likely never competed at any level. Congratulations to any athlete who has an opportunity to compete in college. Obviously the person who person who authored the above knows very little about what it means to be an athlete or to be part of a team. Go back under your rock.

What a ridiculous statement! You don't have to play for a top 20 program for the experience to be relevant. The majority of girls won't play for a top 20 and most parents recognize that. There are many great academic schools that will never see the top 20 but still offer their athletes a terrific education and academic support during the process. Oh and that being a part of a team thing is pretty great and rewarding too!

I believe they meant relevant in terms of competing for a national championship, which is true. That said I would bet that many players on lower ranked teams enjoy their experience equally if not more than the super competitive environment of many of these top teams.

I meant nobody cares or watches except us parents. It was in response to the sport still not being in the Olympics. When you look at all the ridiculous sports that are in the Olympics you can see how low women's lax ranks

Women’s lacrosse falls off?
ESPN, 10,000 fans at sold out Homewood, amazing student athletes, role models for young women.
Women’s lacrosse is awesome!
Take a look at the last NCAA Semifinals.

Have to digress on the close-knit parents. The minute we started any upper level club or travel, other team parents keep their guard up and view you with suspition until you pass the muster. soccer lacrosse and basketball
And, sorry, but Im not sending my girl to just any program to play. She wants to enjoy college, study abroad (haha one day) take classes that interest her and further her education and career prospects upon graduation. I told her - "just be your best right now - it doesnt matter about college (shes a 23) just be your best right now". IG's with 5-6 am workout calls scare her. sorry but thats just the way she is. Probably not some programs cup of tea but she is going to enjoy it right now.

It looks like it is about that time the NCAA grants the Spring 2021 sports another year. Based on vaccine rollout plan there is no way it will be close to normal season. With the Ivies most likely not playing at all in Spring with all the opt outs already, and Big Ten announcing they are most likely in conference only. Many conferences will have no choice but to follow.

As the NCAA did with Fall(which had a full fall with conference championships and looks to have National championships in Spring season) and Winter sports for all years it is time they step up and do it for Spring 2021 years.

The NCAA will not (can not) keep giving an additional year.... Athletes will most likely be granted just one additional year but the NCAA will most likely hold to the "5" to play "4" rule.

I could be wrong but I know of a soccer player who redshirted her junior year due to injury and is a 5th year senior this year .She has said she will be coming back next fall as she is eligible according to this years NCAA ruling giving her 6 years .

I think you are right but that was an exception. Do you think the NCAA would be willing to make that exception for every player? Trust me, I am on the players side and hope that they do, but I just don't know if it is realistic.

Time for NCAA to announce another year of eligibility for Spring sports. They have no choice to do it as did for Fall and Winter sports. If they are not going to do it you could see many opt outs for season up coming. If your coming back for 5th season I don’t think it is for a conference championship .

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.

First off I have never heard anyone respond to the term non revenue sport aggressively as it’s a fact . That said the NCAAwill need to be very careful about spending so many resources on those revenue sports while not trying with the others as we live in a litigious society .

Huh. Women’s and men’s cross country, field hockey, volleyball, water polo and men’s/women’s soccer all competed. Last I looked they are non- revenue. Your doubt means your opinion. At least get some facts to support your opinion.

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.

Explain to me how "Non-Revenue" sports were able compete this past Fall at many schools. The ACC, SEC, Big 12 etc... all had Fall 2020 fall seasons for their non-revenue sports.

Stop with this revenue sports talk. Only football brings in dollars and men’s basketball big programs as well

I agree. But will add only a few football and basketball teams are in the black on their $ spread sheet.

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.

Why would the NCAA grant spring sport (2021) student athletes an additional year when it is the individual schools and or conferences that are making decisions? Many fall sports competed this past fall ... The NCAA did not stop them.

That’s the point . The NCAA granted all fall and winter athletes an extra year even if they essentially played an almost normal season .

Preseason Top 20

1. North Carolina
2. Notre Dame
3. Loyola
4. Syracuse
5. Stony Brook
6. Northwestern
7. Florida
8. Maryland
9. Michigan
10. Richmond
11. Penn
12. Denver
13. James Madison
14. USC
15. Duke
16. Dartmouth
17. Boston College
18. Virginia
19. UMass
20. Virginia Tech

Also considered (alphabetical order): Colorado, Hofstra, Navy, Penn State, Stanford

Although these polls really do not matter until May they are fun to discuss.

- North Carolina obvious choice for #1...
- ND ?? Too high...
- Loyola is always tough but not sure they are Final Four caliber...
- Syracuse could certainly be Final Four Team...
- Stony Brook is loaded and could finally make a run in the tournament...
- Northwestern will be in the mix at the end...
- Florida will be very good but don't think Final four, #7 about right...
- Maryland... Never count them out...
- Michigan ?? Not sure they will be Top 10 at the end...
- Richmond, Very solid probably finish 10 - 15...
- Penn at 11 might be a bit high for the Quakers this year...
- Denver a little high...
- JMU about right...
- Could finish Top 15...
- Duke? Will they finish in the Top 20? Been a while...
- Dartmouth has been very tough in recent years but Ivy's at a disadvantage this year...
- BC is probably ranked a little low...
- Umass about right, They will finish in the Top 20

Hofstra and PSU will both be tough...

Any Team not listed that could surprise?

Yes, many played but every fall and winter athlete was granted an extra year of eligibility. The wrinkle with spring athletes is that they have already been granted an additional year of eligibility after playing a partial season...except freshman who were in high school last year, obviously.
