Agreed. Great sport. My son plays. Who will be first SEC D1 team? Guessing Florida.

Title IX says hi. But I enjoy watching it, albeit casually.

I think this is the next sport to blow up.

Easy Title IX resolution. Start women’s and men’s lacrosse programs at the same time.

SEC better get on board sooner rather than later. Lacrosse is blowing up in metro Atlanta and other places around the South.

Many Southern D1 programs: UVA, UNC, Wake, Duke, Furman and Mercer.

That would be Furman. I’m sure it was an honest mistake. My fat fingers hit the wrong key all the time.

Fastest growing sport in America

Penn State eventually settled down, but the opening deficit was too much to overcome as Yale defeated the Nittany Lions, 21-17, in Saturday’s second national semifinal before 32,612 at Lincoln Financial Field.


Lincoln Financial Field has a seating capacity of 69,176.

So even with teams being local, they couldn't half fill the stadium for a final 4. Seems to be sooper popular.

Lol football is a yankee sport. Rutgers & Princeton started it.

Title IX is so outdated.

It’s rediculous the amount of girls who have gone to college for free because they are semi-talented at a sport no one watches.

It’s amazing the number of people that don’t realize that football was started at colleges for fun and morphed into it’s own sport. Pro football use to be weird as it was a college game.

It was essentially rugby where you stop the ball and call a play. My favorite is that story how one day someone threw the ball and they had to stop the game and pull out the rule book. There was nothing forbidding it but no one ever thought to try.

I’d rather lacrosse than soccer. Of course, soccer is a good cure for insomnia so maybe they should play it more often on SEC Network.

How many high schools in the 11-state SEC footprint sponsor lacrosse? Is there enough D1-caliber talent in the South to support 14 more top tier teams?

Nah, we should do wrestling. That way we could add Women’s jello wrestling

In Tennessee you have 4 divisions large/small public and private... league has it's on ruling body until 2020, then it will be run by The TSSAA, official ruling body... elementary lacrosse in Memphis started around 10years ago, the quality of HS lacrosse is seeing the benefits now

Don’t think you can or need to have every SEC team play Lacrosse for now. The ACC only had 4 teams for years: MD, UVA, UNC, Duke. Eventually ACC added teams as the sport grew.

Most logical teams to go first in SEC: UGA, Fla, Vandy and UofSC

No reason to dump anything...

The SEC should just demand its schools all to earmark 2M a year from their tV payout to add both men’s and women’s programs

This would add more programming for the network and pay for itself....

Seems like a no brained
