I'm certain that the sport was considered to some extent when the University applied to the ACC, but at some point in the future lacrosse could become a very important financial dividend of this move.

The ACC is now/will be the ultimate lacrosse conference - a true dynamo.

I have little doubt that in the next 25 years lacrosse will be the third revenue generating sport - a major revenue producer.

Some tinkering with Title IX will probably be required in order to allow the 64 schools to compete in lacrosse on a varsity level, but once that happens all financial bets will be off - the sport will draw large crowds - see the Final Four now -and, more important, big TV ratings.

The ACC will get a huge TV benefit when that day comes. The future ACC Lacrosse Tournament will be the linchpin for the sport's growth.

As Dr. Gross indicated, this decision anticipated events occuring over the next fifty years.

Lacross has to be one of those events.
