Jeremy, Albany has become a major Lax power, playing them for dominance in New York is the future. This game will generate huge interest around the state.Anything is possible but I don't see SU going to a rotating home and away with Albany like they do with Hobart and Cornell who SU has been playing for decades and decades. I don't know if Colgate is long for the schedule with the changes coming to the conference tournaments so SU maybe more open to do something with Albany. Maybe a 2 for 1 scenario.

Yes, get them in as the 6th ACC lax team and Albany ponies up the dough for the domoreno.If they're in discussions then it's going to happen. Besides the fact that it's a made for TV game and good for NYS lacrosse, I'd believe there's some other implications being that it's a SUNY school located in the Capital.

Money makes the world go around.ACC doesn't do partial members and Albany is unlikely to get the green light from the American East even if the ACC offered.
The matchup has been a made for TV game the last half decade and ESPN has shown it couldn't care less. Albany still has a way to go to move the needle nationally despite Marr doing a hell of a job. Will it happen probably but I wouldn't say its a definite as there are a lot of moving parts right now with the ACC schedule, the ACC conference tourney change, and SU playing around with the OOC.
What I meant by that TV comment (which was dumb) but what I meant was that Albany would likely sell out their football stadium for the game. Playoff type atmosphere 7K. If the weather is nice standing room only would be my guess providing both teams are top 5.
Hobart should drop back down to D3.

One match doesn't sound like a permanent "home and home".
Well if Albany gave SU a large sum of money to do il domoreno ( I'm using an Italian term because it is taking the same time that cathedral renovations take in Italy) then they would create a windfall that SU could use some of on ACC projects. Capisce.If they didn't offer it to JHU with all of their money, Suny Albany has zero chance. Trust me the ACC has zero interest.
Reading the article it sounds like a one time favor for Marr or maybe something they will do once every 5 years or something.

Albany Lax to the ACC. Throw some meat to them dawgs.

It's just a matter of time before an ACC team gets burned and doesn't make the tourney because the league only has 5 teams.Thats fine if Albany is looking for some home games with SU in Lax or maybe fball (JB aint playing there) but thats not going to do anything to move the needle on the ACC looking at Albany for lax only membership.
Interesting and OOB thinking. But if the ACC wouldn't consider Hop, UT is probably a non-starter.If the ACC is going to offer a partial, then go w/Utah next year.
1. They need a conference.
2. There wouldn't be any buy-out.
3. They've got to come to the East for games and teams have to go to the West to play them regardless of which one they join, so why not use them for #6?

If it were up to me, the old Big East teams would mutiny and create a new conference.If the ACC is going to offer a partial, then go w/Utah next year.

5 blue-blood teams would all need to collapse at the same time (i.e., lose all their OOC games) in order for the ACC not to make the tournament. 0.01% chance of that happening.It's just a matter of time before an ACC gets burned and doesn't make the tourney because the league only has 5 teams.
