Nice call on Etown, got Egg on my face. Care to share why you made that call.

I'm pretty sure it's their 10-12 loss to St Mary's vs Dickinson 15 to 8 win against St Mary's

Looking at the schedules, I think by end of games Saturday, there will be a good barometer to judge the Centennial Conference Nationally. From what I saw looking at the schedules I do not see a solid Top 10 resume yet.

Geo& Bob,

Coach McCabe is a well regarded coach, I'd trust in his judgement.

The one thing I have learned on this website there are usually 2 types of posters. Those with a genuine interest in the team and those with agendas.

I'm just a casual follower, friends son is on the team: his is College lacrosse where many teams boast 60-man rosters. Other teams deploy a plethora of talented midfield lines against the Generals, and it has certainly provided an advantage for them. This is not high school where you can win with 2-...

Anyone say "TV Money." It appears the Stadium for Hofstra is booked for Sat 5/2 for CAA Championship. Friday and Sunday open. Also guessing it wasn't a money maker for Columbia particularly since they don't have lacrosse.

Can someone explain why the URSINUS Bears are not within the top 20 pre-season poll/ranking for Inside Lacrosse for 2020 ? They bring back most of their team and defeated F&M twice, Gettysburg, CNU, Stevenson last year. The Bears are an experienced team, with two top attackmen in D3 returning -...

Looking at the NCAA D 1 stats for Turnovers per game comparing the 17 and 18 seasons to 19 Season I'd say the time clock added 3-5 more turnovers, which is where I'd assume that stat would go. Not that it really matters. While I am not a fan of the full 80 after the clearing possession, I voting lea...

Then, setting aside the coaches, are the Inside Lacrosse player rankings based on all hs players or primarily hs players who played within one of their showcases? I would say it is all HS players, the Il staff does have a good network and access to most college coaches. Would I say they might skew ...

So doing some simple math, I figured the average freshmen class is around 700-900 ( #D1 teams x 50 players on avg divided by 4 add some for injuries and players leaving team). I figure about 80% of the teams always take a goalie and fogo so that's roughly 100. Leaving between 600 to 800 spots. Now I...

Like I said it was a cursory look but with the new 5 region format there are 30 teams with AQs which would mean there are only 6 at large spots, which would mean conferences aren't getting multiple bids.

Has anyone looked at the new playoff format in terms of seeding or brackets, my first cursory had me scratching my head. I think it has some impact on this discussion.

Current NESCAC player- any questions or takes that people want to hear?

How do you feel about the new alignment, after a very quick glance( could be wrong) but it seems like the NESCAC could only have 1 team in tournament.

We're talking about kids who regularly played 6 games in 2 days multiple times during each summer of middle and high school, right? So are you saying 1 hour running time Summer Tournament games are the same as playing for National Championship ? I would say no, but we are talking about 20-24yr old ...

So I just read the rationale b y the committee. They are doing this to help the students during the stressful time of final exams. Oh and its also a $53,000 savings for the NCAA. It is so nice to know the NCAA is so concerned for their athletes.

Totally against this format. IMHO It is completely unfair to the athletes who spent nearly 5 months earning the right to play. Now they are playing in what could be warm humid days back to back. What other NCAA contact sport does that? The potential injury factor wasn't a consideration just the NCAA...

If you look at most non revenue sports I think we all know what the demographic is. It has something to due with access to different sports and wealth so is this really breaking news? The club sport biz model only compounds to this issue, with the promise of scholarships. You can find 100's of artic...

Anyone have an opinion on modification to rules this fall now that Fall Ball is in full swing?

And yet, shouldn't the free market sort out what a man's worth is? This thread has been a real eye opener. Surprised at how many believe the answer is "no". I think the reason you see some many "NOs" is these are team sports, it is not a man's worth but a teams worth. Without th...
