Perhaps one benefit from this ruling, Syracuse’s very high tuition costs will become less of a factor for recruits if they are getting a full ride. Obviously depends on how many scholarships the Orange decide to hand out, but if fully funded, a recruit won’t have to let cost be a factor in their decision making.

Very curious to see how this all plays out. To go from 12.6 scholarships to 48 in one year is wild to me. Getting a full ride to play lacrosse used to be a humongous deal. Now it will become common place. Good for the student athletes.

Roster management will be interesting to watch. Will players not living up to the hype get cut due to roster limits? There will not be a lot of wiggle room on a 48 man roster. What does the transfer portal look like when you need to have tradeoffs? Will recruiting classes be smaller and take longer to build?

There will be haves and have nots, who will they be and how will we know? (Which players are getting scholarship money now is a mystery, to say nothing of NIL deals).

Syracuse has been spending thr most money of any DI team on lacrosse for as long as I can remember, but this is a whole new ballgame. Will the athletic department make the commitment to the program that I’m sure other big money schools will? I hope so!
