Scholarship table
FTA:The average roster size for a Division I women's lacrosse team is 25.5 student-athletes compared to 44.8 individuals on the men's sideSo out of 44 individuals on the mens team only 12 will be scholarship student-athletes?
I agree..We need to go Balls deep on this thing.
or balls deep in jasmine st. claire....
We had Courtney Cumz in the office the other day...she and another "Hustler girl" were here doing a promotion on the marketing floor. That was rather entertaining.
Are the local Indians offended by the white man playing the native game? What compromises will mu have to make?
Both Marquette lacrosse teams will be fully funded with the maximum number of scholarships, and coaches, allowed by the NCAA. The average roster size for a Division I women’s lacrosse team is 25.5 student-athletes compared to 44.8 individuals on the men’s side, according to the latest NCAA Sports Sponsorship and Participation Rates Report.
....and they came into your office and demanded a contract or they'd teach you a lesson. Right?
Now, as Stone Cold said, let's work on hockey. Not to mention speed skating, as was discussed here earlier.
just out of curiousity, why is this a really good thing for MU? (note: I'm not trying to suggest it's a bad thing. I just am not sure of the reasoning behind why it's so good.)Do any LAX teams make money? Any that aren't Johns Hopkins or Duke? I was under the impression that was the only thing that mattered about "positioning during conference realignment".
It's a good thing for a few reasons. First, the costs to start are a lot less since the facilities are in place. Being only the 3rd D1 program in the midwest lets MU nab some talent from this area, as well as expanding its reach out east. It's a sport MU can be competitive in from the get go.Most importantly, I think it helps MU with the Big East. Adding another school is a shot in the arm to the BE in Mens Lacrosse, which just started sanctioning it last year. Also, having a broader offering of sports beyond mens basketball is a positive in our favor in the ongoing realignment.
LaCrosse is fine, but why not baseball and softball??
What's ironic is that the rise in popularity seemed to coincide with the Duke lacrosse team scandal. Who would have thought that such a black eye for the program and sport would be a precursor to a rise in popularity? Not saying they're necessarily directly related, but timing-wise, it is rather interesting.
Scandal? The team turned out to be not guilty of anything. Trumped up charges, etc. The scandal was the way the team was treated by the university.
Rewriting history? It was a huge scandal. No one will remember how they got screwed by the school and the AG compared to all the allegations, trials, claims, accusations, etc that became the focus for the media for months.
LOL. They did come into my office, I was on the phone, politely put person on hold and shook both their hands as my boss was laughing her ass off behind them at the surprise visit and the look on my face as these two walked in. They were in their Hustler t-shirts, etc. The Adult Content department is three offices over from mine so there's always some interesting traffic and stories that happen on the floor.
