With all the discussion about the ACCT, and the fact that the league loses its AQ (next year? 2018?), I started to think about possible additions to the Lax league. If the ACC doesn't go 'outside' the league as it is currently constituted, there are really only a few options (in no particular order):
I know that adding another mouth to feed would cause us to give up an OOC opponent - either a traditional opponent (Cornell/Hop/Army/etc.) or a NYS courtesy call opponent (Siena/Bingo/Colgate/St. John's/etc.). Not that any of the NYS games (other than Cornell) mean much to me, but it is usually a way to chalk up a win without much effort.
Personally, I think Louisville would be the best bet, if they had the appetite for it. Heck, if Marquette can do it, Louisville should be able to be competitive in a few years.
NC State? That ship has sailed. BC? They only try in hockey. Pitt? The hell with them.
Thoughts?
- NC State (club level - and thanks for Tim Nelson!)
- BC (they already play club level)
- Louisville ( I believe they also play club level)
- Pitt (club level)
- GT (club level)
