UVA has decided not to renew the contract of their head lacrosse coach. If (and I stress if) Joe were to leave this would be the perfect landing spot.

Let's hope they decide to promote from within.

This opportunity only comes along once in a generation and is the crown jewel of Lacrosse.

I am sure Coach Joe is on the short list if not number one on the list. It will be a very tough decision for him if it materializes.

UVA is in discussions with the Yale coach so that is a good thing for us. Although If they take him that would open both Yale and Princeton. Although both those Ivy schools are attractive I am not sure they could lure our guy away.  Cost of Living too high .

I don't see where the COLA of New Haven, CT is any different than Milwaukee, WI?

Yale had a similar season to Marquette.  Had a great season run, won the Ivy tournament, then lost in the first round of the NCAA's at home to Navy.

Cost of living in New Haven is  23% higher than Milwaukee, or so says http://money.cnn.com/calculator/pf/cost-of-living/

Marquette has already hired this guy to talk Amplo out of listening to any offers:

Thanks for posting. Interesting data. Syracuse has one heck of a fan base.  The nice thing is MU was constantly mentioned on all of these games and during pre post game so we really got a lot of exposure.

Syracuse vs Maryland this past Saturday at 11am CT got 101k

It doesnt surprise me. Softball draws good attendance in person.

UNC playing Maryland for the championship today.  Not that it really matters in the long run, but our guys put up a heck of a fight against a really good team that's gotten on a roll.

[bradley center bat]

North Carolina won in an overtime.

[Herman Cain]

It was a great atmosphere at the game today. They announced Joe Amplos name during the award ceremony, as being part of the tournament committee.

We game the national champions a great game. Things are looking up for us.

[burger]

Yes.....NC just won the NCAA Lacrosse National title.....

Congrats to MU Lacrosse on bringing the program to national prominence......

[MU82]

It's official:

We're No. 2!

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Since they won't vacate a UNC win, what school lacrosse program is getting NCAA penalized for this?

Cleveland State.  They're scheduled to go to DI in 2017, so this will probably cost them a couple of schollies.

[moomoo]

Amplo to Princeton?
