[COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri]These additions from a hoop perspective will give the ACC a hefty pay raise when discussing basketball television contracts.  That can’t be dismissed as being a non-factor.[/FONT][/COLOR]
 
[COLOR=black]It’s hard to believe lax would have any influence on an invite, but people where lax matters sure aren’t naïve to fact that lax is the 2nd most attended NCAA final four sporting event behind basketball.  Syracuse is the premier program in the nation.  The FF in Baltimore (with Syracuse) put nearly 50,000 fans in the stands.  That is a huge deal when considering only a fraction of a % of people in the country play lacrosse.  Obviously lax is growing at an unprecedented rate and there might be a time when lax is pulling in big bucks.  ESPNU games are growing in popularity and there will be a time when networks are paying conferences (The ACC) for the rights to air their lacrosse games.[/COLOR]
