Next Programs To Win National Titles For The First Time?

[10stone5]

Every college lacrosse Natty champion is one of the blue bloods b/c it is the only college sport where the playing field is not level, how can a program like a Nova expect to compete every season with only 10 scholarships & one of the smallest rosters in Div 1

If a small school like Loyola could win, it's possible for anyone. They are not blue blood in my book.

If that is correct, Villanova is up to 10 scholarships - then that is a relatively recent step up (from 8.5).
Here's guessing they are working to fund the final 2.6 scholarships soon, taking into consideration the glacial pace these things take.

But yes, Loyola is a good comparable.

Not sure why people are saying Brown over other more established programs like Harvard or Penn tbh. Brown is starting with a lot more unknowns and at the bottom until proven otherwise.

Harvard? You been chillin w Doc and letting go of your NorCal hippiness for some Peter Navarro style San Diego.

If you want to do what Loyola did, you need a president and alumni that put major bank into just lacrosse. That's easier to do if you are the premier sport on campus. Loyola has the right build and history. Not sure Villanova does.
