Upgrading from club LAX to Div 1 has been discussed. We could manage that if we added softball ...

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.

I used to fly in to LAX all the time.

Well the good news is you would be automatically invited into the premier lacrosse league in the country. You play BE teams and fill out your schedule with the schools a little closer. Also, Private schools have a huge advantage over state land grant schools in lacrosse.
\The game is on right now...WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW an 75 yard pass for a score. Cuse up 4-2 at the end of the 1st

I think it would be great to add men's & women's lacrosse. Garvey-Rosenthal is such a great facility (especially with the recent field house addition)... it would be awesome to use it more, especially since lacrosse is such a big deal in the Big East.

Womens Softball would be awesome, and we only need a field to do it. Aye, there's the rub - where to put the field? The amount of talent in Texas is huge, so finding players is not that hard. TCU could be competitive in a couple of years.
We already have the field for Froggie Lacrosse, and the core is there in the club team.
We need a location for the softball field, and, of course, a wealthy benefactor to toss a bag of $$$ on CDC's desk. The good vibes with our soon to be conference mates would be huge! Plus, the B12 (-2) plays Women's Softball, and there are others around to get series started with (SEC?). Do they play Women's Softball in the BEast?
Bus trip anyone? :tongue:

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. . .
What an ignorant statement...I run into yahoos like you all the time here.
BTW, this guy would like to have a word with you.

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:

This reminds me... what was the biggest game in the history of the WNBA?

Ah, I didn't know they had women's lacrosse! Fantastic! Let's do this, and get even more women on campus! Everybody wins (except for those east coast universities, who miss out on beautiful Texas lacrosse-playing women. This move might not garner points for us with those schools, after all).

Make fun all you want, but lacrosse is still the fastest growing sport in the country, and Syracuse did just sign a kid from Coppell to play for arguably the greatest D1 program in the country.
:tongue:
