Schools Without DI Programs That Would Do The Best With Them?

I say Clemson and Colorado would be two.

UGA

Have you been around Clemson? Lacrosse would never catch on there. It’s not the old money south that gets attracted to the game like a Furman or Suwanee (formerly University of the south).

Culturally more likely at the Grove-Ole Miss if picking large southern state schools. Other than UF but if it didn’t happen under Hobart alum AD Jeremy foley at UF that should tell you a lot.

Ga Tech has had club success and there’s not even BOT level discussions to begin to discuss that.

Stanford

That’s been discussed and their dropping sports (or attempt to did they pull that back?) recently kills most discussions there. Unless the hotel air grandkid and baby daddy for Elizabeth Holmes wants to buy her a honorary degree and some NoCal street cred by endowing it.

None of these schools are actually going to add men's lacrosse. The prompt was who would do best with the sport if it was hypothetically to be added. The answer is Stanford.

Ah well then I pick U Hawaii and Pepperdine.

Agree on Stanford. If the question was "Who is adding lax next?", that's harder to answer. Can you start a program without dedicated facilities? Natural rivals? A conference affiliation? Fan base? And then once you start it, can you sustain it?

I still wonder about William and Mary and possibly ODU. Problem is Butler. They went all in on BB and killed a fairly competent lacrosse program in 04 headed by Stan Ross. Bumped in and out of top 20 wasn’t dissimilar too what HPU and Richmond have built. Subsequently went to a couple of NCAA final fours and even finals. Gives administrations the blueprint that opposes the idea that strong mid major BB schools w/o football or FCS football are strong candidates to add lacrosse.

2 schools I always wondered about were Seton Hall and U Buffalo. Both in hotbed areas- I get that Buffalo has football at a high level but seems like a natural. neither school has a women's team

SUNY system hurting bad financially. No guarantee Bing maintains their program.

Florida or Miami. Coeds and no confirmation there's a library on campus or need for one. They have a strong instate northeast ex pat communities, the schools are well regarded instate, and the south is loaded with athletes. Strong athletic traditions, although the Miami folks have been barking they're not giving the programs the resources they need. Problem is convincing a stud to give up a football or basketball full ride for a sport that doesn't register for hundreds of miles. Also coeds and no studying.

U of Buffalo recently dropped baseball, soccer & swimming. Those programs were actually decent teams. They’re putting all their resources into a very mediocre football program. Highly unlikely there’s much support for a start up program. Especially when Canisius is only 3 miles down the road & they aren’t drawing many locals

Columbia. Ivy. NYC internships. Paging Mr. Kraft...

[Farfromgeneva]

USC.

Could go w most PaC12 schools-Arizona, Arizona St (both have girls that surpass the Cali schools), USC, UCLA, Oregon, Stanford, Cal.

Texas, SMU & Baylor.

Rice, Vandy.

Tulane

South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisville

Strongly disagree since there are no D1 schools on the west coast, and won't be anytime soon or later. While Stanford clearly has the funds, no way they spend/invest money to fly a team across country every week. Even if the current hypo Prez was all-in, the new hypo Prez would drop it later.

Isn't that already Jacksonville?

I seriously doubt it'd be any better than Columbia football.
