I never saw a womens lacrosse player do anything on campus other than walk around in dirty sweatpants talking to other womens lacrosse players

don't contribute to campus life
What, pray tell, does "contributing to campus life" even mean—or is that some made-up criteria you've cooked up to justify trying to get more people fired from a program you just admitted you "know nothing about"? You want to purge the women's side because 15 years ago the players wore sweatpants and didn't mingle with you on campus? This is beside the point but I'd bet a lot of money that the women's players are significantly more involved in campus activities outside of lacrosse than the men's team is.
If you had put it to a vote keep crew or womens lacrosse most students, professors, people on campus would've kept crew by about 95-5. They were active in greek life, tutoring, the race for cancer, spring fair, go down the line, wonderful people. The womens lax team paraded around in sweats, don't resemble the student body the admin is determined to create, showed up at the wa (a wonderful legendary place)/mens lax houses on the weekends,and basically seem to serve no purpose on campus other than to help whatever apparel company has chosen to sponsor the mens program also market their wares to young girls lacrosse players. I don't know anything about the womens game and don't care about it but you'd figure that if florida, northwestern, james madison and bc, all inferior in education, location for recruits, and legacy of the game can become powers in the sport JHU looks bad not at that level.
I love the football program but this is a lax school. The field gets turned over to the mens/womens programs and if they can find a separate field situation for the other sports great. If not, thanks for the memories.
