If the three schools were to add NCAA lacrosse, they could join the 5 ACC teams that offer Div I lacrosse to form a sweet 8 team league. Hopkins and Navy are joining Northwestern, Michigan and (new member) Maryland for Big 10 lacrosse.

Good point, but those soccer stadiums are also just as easily used for lacrosse. The field dimensions are similar
UVA shares soccer and lacrosse facilities

Women would get lacrosse before men.
The problem is football messes up gender equity, if they took football out of Title IX than I could see the SEC adding both men and women's lacrosse. Would rather see that sport which is growing in some LA high schools than sand volleyball which is what LSU just added.

The men's club team Ole Miss has is pretty damn good. I've talked to the coach Patrick Aello (sp?) on a few occasions and he is a great guy. Also the women's lacrosse team has some smoke shows.

That would be nice. The UF and Vandy women are having to join the Big East after those schools left the ALC.

Lax would be a great addition. UF's women's team is legit. Ranked top ten in just their second year and has a very strong high school feeder. Vandy also fields a D1 women's program.
Contrary to previous posts, lax is big in Texas. D1 schools are peppered with Texas kids with no place to go in state. I coach a HS girls team and we have placed 10 girls on D1 and D2 squads over the last three years alone. Duke has highly- publicized dMan from Dallas who turned down a football scholarship with the longhorns to play lax.
Agreed that title 9 would force girls to go first, but I would love to see it.

Title IX will have to be addressed if a lacrosse team is added. My question is most SEC teams have room to grow in their athletic departments. Specifically, SEC schools offer between 12 and 20 sports per school. Many BIG, Pac 12 and ACC schools support many more men's and women's teams. I know UVA and UNC have 28 sports they field. Stanford has the most with 32 or so.
SEC is flowing with football TV money, why not add men's and women's sports.
