Roster Limits for lacrosse

Personally I feel roster limits is long overdue for lacrosse. Schools are abusing the integrity of the game as a way to facilitate higher enrollment numbers. “Heads in beds” programs are becoming more and more common. I can go on and on but more looking for other peoples opinions. I think a roster limit of 50 would be more then fine.
D1 baseball has roster limits, why not lacrosse??

I don’t think anyone needs to be protected but to see some rosters of 75 and other programs struggling to get 30 isn’t good for the game. Plus factor in the guys on larger rosters who really have zero chance at every seeing playing time. Some probably would be better off going to a different school where they have a chance to play.

The non ACC/B1G programs? There is no reason why any program needs a 60+ man roster. A couple ACC/B1G schools routinely take 15-17 players in a recruiting class.

so then programs? and players can't go to school where they choose as a result, that's the end game?

do you believe these players are unaware of the roster size and the difficulty factor of getting on the field?
and if no, is it better that someone else makes their choice for them?

This is an interesting perspective. If I understand the premise, limiting rosters would prevent schools from taking classes of >15 and, by extension, hoarding talented players (many of whom would likely never play meaningful minutes) away from other/"lower" schools.

It happens in other sports all the time. The goal is to grow the game not to allow the schools with tons of resources hoard all the players. If they didn’t have roster limits in football Alabama would have 120 four and five star recruits. It’s not healthy for the sport. The NCAA put the limits in after Johnny Majors took a 50 player recruiting class at Pitt and won a national championship.

Did he win because he took 50 players or because he took Tony Dorsett? I didn’t realize he had a 50 player recruiting class. That’s insane.

No one football player is good enough to carry a team to a national title singlehandedly. That Pitt team had a ton of future NFL players. Dorsett was clearly the best of the bunch though.

Why do you assume it doesn’t benefit the player? Imagine the horror of not being the 60th player on the Hopkins roster but being a contributor at Dartmouth.
Every year kids at the schools with bloated rosters transfer because they can’t travel with the team, let alone play. Or consider the kids who quit the sport because they get to their “dream” school only to find out they will never see the field.

No, my point was if they weren’t being recruited to play lacrosse they wouldn’t be interested in that school.
