Of the four current ACC teams not including Notre Dame Syracuse only plays one of them annually right now. Virginia, we have played Duke a couple of times at Metlife, but we haven't played North Carolina or Maryland LAX in the regular season in a long time. I just think by adding UNC an Duke annually to the schedule we don't need Hopkins each year.
 
I realize Hopkins is a huge rivalry, but like the Georgetown basketball rivalry we are going thru a transition as a program. Hopkins has a right to join the B1G and while it doesn't hurt SU LAX that much I just think its obvious if you look at the macro view of everything Jim Delany has done with the B1G it has been to affect the ACC turf more than people realize. Hopkins wants to a join conference and maintain its rivalries with the ACC schools well if they want to join the B1G LAX league go ahead, but don't expect Virginia, North Carolina, Duke, Syracuse to continue playing you annually.
SU LAX schedule will look like this in 2 years We have 9 games for sure and 5 openings if I was Desko I would add Army, Colgate, Villanova, Loyola/Georgetown, St. John's.
 
1. UVA
2. UNC
3. Duke
4. Notre Dame
5. Hobart
6. Cornell
7. Canisius
8. Princeton
9. Albany
10. my last 5 games Colgate
11. Army
12. Villanova
13. Georgetown/Loyola
14. St. John's
 
that schedule is still elite nationally and if the ACC adds a 6th or 7th team we could dump any two of the last five opponents.
