Message: [QUOTE="UnknownOrange, post: 3017465, member: 4689"] To me this is like Baseball before 1969. Before 1969 baseball was just the top AL team versus the top NL team for the world series. Then came the 2 round format, then in '94 came the wild card round. Lacrosse truly started to blow up in the mid-00's - With Syracuse's limitations (12.6 available schollies, 65k tuition) the draw that Syracuse used to have (If you played lax, SU was one of THE schools) is not there anymore. Why not try your luck at Albany, or Loyola, or Denver, or etc etc - now that the game has grown, it's hurt the SUs/Hopkins' of the world. The same thing happened to the Yankees. They dominated from 1923-1962, winning 20 world series. Now that the playoffs expanded, they've won 7. The game has grown and Syracuse is a tougher sell these days. [/QUOTE]
