Re: FBS/FCS Approach in D1 lacrosse

I think lax is more like hoops. Football needs to have two divisions for many reasons - including attrition. There are not enough lax teams to split either. And yes Big east middle to bottom is not good but georgetown will win a natty soon enough. As stated by a pp the Ivy league rosters are littere...

Re: Brown 2025

Good recon. I don’t think either of the prior coaches have been formally announced yet, but this is good stuff

Re: Brown 2025

Anyone have any formal updates on assistants? Who is OC who is DC? I have not seen anything formally announced - seems like Dalys assistants still listed - not suggesting that is bad - just trying to figure out if it has been settled

Re: Allstate 12?

Plaintiff's lawyers will eat colleges alive if athletes are broadly considered employees. Tuition will become unaffordable. And as a booster, do not ask me to pay the salary of random athlete who will move on because their feelings were hurt last week. But then being an employee will enable use of ...

Impressive career -

Re: Brown 2025

I believe all of the commitments are staying. General consensus is everybody’s been blown away by the new head coach so far he’s been very communicative with the recruits and the parents - a rarity.

Re: Possible face-off changes

Shortening the shot clock makes the game more interesting because it makes the game more competitive. It puts less value on the FOGO controlling most of the game and running out the clock. Again, professional sports are the business model, including the professional lacrosse league.

Re: Possible face-off changes

With respect - the ncaa is not even considering getting rid of them - they are thinking after a goal - the shot clock is shortened if the team that scored the goal (likely in most games with the best fogo) wins the face off. The NBA shortened the shot clock from 24 seconds to 14 seconds in 2018 when...

Re: Possible face-off changes

Alot of posts but whoever said no other sport tweaks the rules as much as lacrosse isnt paying attention to other sports I think the NBA Rule which tweaked the shot clock upon an offensive rebound most closely resembles this. I note that the NBA is about making money getting viewers and the like - t...

Re: NIL, Title IX, Power 5, future of Lax et al

I agree with the second point. Even the NFL and NBA have contracts where a player can’t leave by entering a portal And if a wealthy alumnus decides they want to give a budget to a coach that coach could bring in an entire new team in one year if we took this to its greatest extent It is destroying t...

Re: Championship-ND Vs. MD On Monday, 05/27, At 12:00 PM

ND is a powerhouse - hate to say it - but they have the resources and academics to lure the top players - think they will be solid natty champs for near future.

Re: Brown 2024

Good question - anyone know the scoop re assistants - are any from Dalys staff staying? If not any background / opinions on who he is bringing with him?

Re: Interested in hearing opinions on why Torpey left HP for Brown

I’ll sit back and wait to see how Torpey does at Brown. 87wins 86 losses in 12 years at High Point. Not bad. But I think his greatest achievement was having a roster of 75 players last year, 62 whom paid full-boat tuition at a resort college in the foothills of North Carolina. At $67k for tuition a...

Re: Next Programs To Win National Titles For The First Time?

Biased but am going with Brown and the terrific new head coach former head coach at High Point. Money endowment and interest is there - NIL or the like. New indoor facility being built.

From a parent of a former HC player - You could not get a better all-around person - What he has done for the former players has been incredible - truly cares about each individual (players, coaches, managers, etc...) while at the school and then for the years after - still talks to his former playe...

Re: Brown 2024

Props. And nodding. A shame based on what I have at least heard (admittedly maybe not the full picture but as others have said I doubt the air force or unc would have him on staff if he had anything to do with the allegations).

Re: Brown 2024

When did Thompson get removed from consideration? I must’ve missed that. Do you have a source for that or is it confidential?
