If FSU adds Men's lacrosse and does not add a new Women's sport of the same rough number of scholarships, FSU will get a visit from the Feds. And FSU definitely does not have the resources to add 2 sports like that.

You were the one that not long ago had SU begging to get into D3 conferences while FSU was going to be the subject of a bidding war between the SEC and B1G and was going to be swimming in cash. (Only a little hyperbole regarding your past comments)

Regardless, a D1 men's lacrosse team usually runs a budget of $500K - $2m. If we double that to cover another women's team, or $1M - $2M, the cost of the new women's lacrosse facility would cover 6-12 years of both new teams. Besides, FSU is now almost $450M in debt, what's a few more bucks when they will be receiving all that new conference money plus post season earnings?

Alternatively, having two teams use the lacrosse facility is likely to double the ticket, parking, concessions revenue of just one team. As it is, the facility will seat 1,000, at $10/ticket, they receive $10k revenue per home game. Being generous, the home stand will include 10 games, or $100K in revenue. To pay back the $12M will take 120 years!
