Lax conferences not as whacked-out geographically as some football conferences. Assuming successful conf-only year for most, and assuming an NCAA playoff, the selection committee gonna earn their money this year .

Had no idea a huge state school like Alabama is so limited in athletic opportunities!

I hope Keyontae Johnson is OK and it is not related to having COVID over the summer.

I don't think the cause of Keyontae Johnson collapsing during a basketball game months after having COVID has any impact on the 2021 lacrosse season. The number of players in college sports, MLB, and the NFL that have had COVID is a large population. There are no patterns or trends related to those players getting sick.

I think the General Counsels at the heavily endowed Universities in question might disagree with this assessment.....

Athletes have collapsed in many other years when CV-19 did not exist, why in the world must every aspect of life be (a large majority of the time WRONGFULLY) attributed to CV-19. Let the damn information come out and then make your assumption.

As soon as the McConnell statement was made, you knew what you were dealing with Pelosi and Sanders have both stated they didn’t want a relief bill passed as it would’ve helped Trump with re-election, oh well. The sky is still falling as we continue to lockdown healthy people due to a virus with a 99% survival rate. If you’re at risk, quarantine, others should wear a mask,

You partisans are reading what you want to read. I didn't blame McConnell for doodly. Or Trump. Or Pelosi. Or anyone. For anything.

What Im trying to tell you is that University Presidents are concerned about liability. So much so, that McConnell won't sign a stimulus without legal protections...and he's been demanding this provision for months. This is a truth. He's on the record for this. Is he right to do that? I have no idea. I'm not a lawyer, and have no idea what's at stake.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s insistence that legal liability protections for businesses, schools and colleges be included in any new coronavirus relief bill is approaching a moment of reckoning.

Warning that an avalanche of litigation would undercut any rebound from the pandemic’s economic damage, McConnell has repeatedly said he won’t let a bill to pass the Senate without a temporary shield from most coronavirus-related lawsuits for businesses that follow public health guidelines.

I'm simply telling you what's happening in DC. It has a direct effect on whether or not we have lacrosse. Maybe grow up, and knock off the partisan nonsense for five minutes. Or keep at it, I guess. It's doing wonders for our nation......
