In theory, this is a fine concept, but in reality there is no way teams have the budget for this to take place. Olympic/Non-Revenue sports are scraping by right now, fighting for every dollar in the athletic department that isn't going to fund football (and to a lesser extent hoops). Im sure there are some big ten teams that would be able to do it, but I doubt patriot league and MAAC teams could pull of sending their mens lacrosse teams to texas one weekend and florida the next.

I really struggle to understand why teams cannot play two games in one week? I get that coaches don't like it because they cant watch 150 hours of film on their opponent and program their players for each opponent. College Hockey is just as physically, if not more physical, than college lacrosse and they seem to manage playing back to back games basically the whole season. Start the season the first weekend in March and play to the first weekend in May. Get rid of conference tournaments, best record in regular season is the champion of the conference. That should give you 9 weekends of lacrosse. Three times during those 9 weeks, play two games in a week, either a mid week or friday/sunday. That gives you 12 regular season games. Start the playoffs the second weekend in May and you can still finish the championship on memorial day. I loved being in the Dome yesterday watching lacrosse, but seriously we need to stop the madness that is February lacrosse.
