#1 Notre Dame at #4 Syracuse 6pm Texas Time on ESPNU
15,000 expected to attend on a beautiful Upstate NY Day. Too bad it is indoors.
If TCU can put 20 men on the women's basketball practice squad you too can add Men's Lax and make Title IX nums. :tongue:
First of all: Go Syracuse!
Second of all: Upgrading Lacrosse would be pretty sweet, but here's a map of all the teams in the US that play D-1 lacrosse. As you can see, it would basically be us, Air Force, and Denver being the only schools west of the Mississippi that would have teams.
Is that the sport for people that suck at football and don't know how to ice skate?

Actually, it's the sport for people who aren't 6'5", who don't weigh 250+ lbs., and who think soccer is silly. Lacrosse is an awesome sport, and TCU could set the standard as an early adapter in Texas. We have the perfect stadium for it and are joining the perfect conference for it. Adding lacrosse would also get us some exposure with some of those prestigious east coast universities.
The only problem is, as others have said, Title 9. We already have women's equestrian and riflery (which we rock at). Softball isn't happening because no one is putting up the money for a stadium when our basketball arena needs a major upgrade. Are there any other women's sports we could add?
Women's Sports:
-Basketball
-Tennis
-Soccer
-Equestrian
-Riflery
-Cross Country
-Swimming
-Track
-Golf
-Volleyball
I guess we could always nix men's Track or Cross Country, as long as we kept the other one. Or better yet, we could offer scholarships for Cheerleading! I'd be okay for having even more beautiful women on this campus, though I suppose at some point it becomes rude just to hog them all. . .
If you added both men's and women's lax wouldn't TCU stay in balance regarding title IX? By the way awesome win by the Cuse on national television! :biggrin:
Those look like someone Baylored in them.
This reminds me... what was the biggest game in the history of the WNBA?
