Div 1 LAX in SEC discussion

I've been watching LAX this weekend and its pretty exciting. I know that Atlanta area and Nashville have become very popular in LAX. Just curious as to why the SEC should just go ahead and have all schools add both mens and women programs. Lacrosse programs usually cost around 1m a year. The SEC is currently paying out around 5m more to their schools than the BIG is.
Why not encourage the schools to earmark 3m a year money for the creation?
Avg attendance is around 3-4k per game nationally.
It would give the SECN more programming options, because I have see the SEC storied on Walker, BO, and RTR-WDE enough i know the history more than i want or need to know.
UF and VU have women, so they would have to add something else as well.
But I think LAX could become a great addition.

It'd be this or men's soccer teams if programs were expanded. But, yes, this would be easier given that there's an equivalent for title IX purposes

Because nobody gives a shite about lacrosse in the sec. It would be just another program taking money instead of making it. Won't happen.

I'd much rather soccer or wrestling

My argument has been that a lot of these G5 schools should stop trying to compete with football and instead start up a Lax program. Considering how popular it is getting in the South they would have a niche that could serve the purpose of getting people to care about their athletics. Imagine if UAB, USA, GSU, ULM, FIU, etc started Lax programs and really pushed them.

It is the fastest growing youth sport

I'd like to see it, thought once we got the women's program up and running more SEC schools would join but that hasn't happened. Hopefully we see a men's program added in the not too distant future, it is easier to watch than the women's game with the rule variations.
We built a lacrosse-specific facility, but don't think it is necessary.

i don't care about wrestling, but i do think colleges should be able to offer all of the tier 2 sports, like baseball and softball.
really title Ix shouldn't be applied to FBS football programs.
1st football pays for basketball ( in most cases ) and all the tier 2 sports.
so only those sports should go scholly for scholly.
2nd the NCAA doesn't crown the FBS champion, the CFP does.

If for no other reason than to piss on the ACC by taking their points away in DC and Cap One
Not sure how well it would work in SEC states because it seems to be mostly rich white kids who went to private schools.

Love lacrosse. Would love to see it grow more.

Once people watch a game, a high quality game, most of them fall in love with the sport. Every guy I know says they wish they had the sport growing up.

I was lucky enough to play it in high school. Had a blast.
We actually had people from other schools nearby come and be able to play because their school didn't have teams yet. Most of them do now.

Lucky bastard. I don't have the hand/eye coordination to play offense but I would have been a great d-middie or LSM.
Posted on 5/29/17 at 3:12 pm to Porter Osborne Jr
I played middie. I couldn't score worth a shite but I could move the ball decently. I was king at faceoffs.
That shite wore me out. So much running with change of possessions

A great FOGOis the key to most games. Especially when the talent levels are close to equal.

LAX is one of the world's major airports.

Me personally, I'd rather see the SEC add wrestling. The athletes and the strength of some of the southern HS wrestling programs are severely underrated. All of the schools up north and in the Midwest have it, and kids from the south aren't being given the proper recruitment that kids from Ohio/New York/New Jersey get because all we have in the south are some d2 schools

Men's rugby would be the next men's sport added at LSU if we could balance the scholarships out. I'm guessing LSU could do that by adding Equestrian along with the existing beach volleyball team.
LSU already has Equestrian as a club sport. A stroke of the pen would make it varsity.

It'd be this or men's soccer teams
