Joe Tsai is an incredible benefactor to the sport. Between Yale, the PLL, the San Diego Seals, the (West Coast) Hill Academy and several international lacrosse programs (I'm sure that there are other projects that I am overlooking), his support has been incredible.

As to the Indoor facility, I have not attempted to get an update. I am reasonably certain that the anchor donations came from very solid contributors. So... let's hope. The general buzz that I have heard is that Covid-19 related issues are still taking a lot of administrative time.

On another note relating to fund raising, 10/21 (as most know) is the fund raising day for Cornell men's lacrosse. It's encouraging to see many current players and young alums donate $71 in honor of the 1971 NC team.

Yes, that was a quick flip, but Sam Ricci from Victor has committed. He is an excellent fogo—playing in the IL event this weekend.

Does anyone find problematic Tsai’s defense of China and his relationship to sports in the US. Obvious example is his problematic Darryl Morey stance…very curious to hear thoughts as his relationship with a top Ivy program certainly warrants question. I would understand separating his relationship from China to his with lacrosse (Ala separating art from artist, example anyone who still listens to Michael Jackson or R Kelly or Prince, etc) but I believe it is an interesting question. Understandably this is a lacrosse forum but if someone is going to compliment the man, I believe this is a valid conversation piece at least.

Oh man, you need to do some google. A lot of problematic stuff in his past that is ignored, but has been documented. I get this is probably Yale thread relevant but I saw the post about tsai here first. Not sure if anyone actually cares…separation of sports from morals lol

Do I hve to? We’re not talking just being a world class stick man, right? You’re telling me it’s in the peeing on underage girls and diddling boys level stuff or just “kick another hottie out of bed and didn’t send her roses” type not good?

Its plenty bad enough to question whether you should listen to him or not. But I am actually interested in the Ivy perspective of Tsai money, which is funded from a brutal communist regime

I mean you could do a proctology exam on every Ivy and non Ivy college and find a lot of problematic money that’s touched lacrosse programs. Is this specific to a view you have on China and would it be better suited for the snake charmer, er, political boards? Or is it about unethical money of any kind supporting lacrosse programs?

This is solely a response to A post about Tsai being a ‘incredible benefactor’ or lacrosse. If no one gave such compliments I would not have commented but it seems to me, if we compliment the man then we must be willing to critics said person. AND do we care who is that benefactor. If we are going to heap compliments on someone, should we also examine the head-scratching problematic items of that person

I personally believe his relationship with China should be questionsed with veracity by the lacrosse community. If we make moral choices on other topics within sports, this certainly warrants inclusion in that discussion on his morality and choices. Which I would argue are worse than most, if not all. But at a minimum deserve a conversation on a Ivy lacrosse thread when that person just built arguably the nicest lacrosse facility in the ivys.

That’s fine just wondering. Jon Reese has pretty clean hands I believe.

I try to avoid mixing morality and sports, don’t see the inherent connection, but it’s certainly common to do so.

Hmm. Talented Long Island kid. I've also seen him connected to Navy but... I thought he landed at Cornell.

I don't think so. Maybe in a different thread. This is the only mention I see about him within the D1 Men's Forum: viewtopic.php?p=163687#p163687. Bottomline, curious to see where he lands.

Looks like he's at IMG and signed with Mercer this week. May be jumping to conclusions, but based on the comments on IMG's instagram post he may have gotten into some off the field trouble
