<This is the new thing to do when you miss out on the tourney, i guess.>
In a letter to the University today, Johns Hopkins President Ronald J. Daniels announced that the men's lacrosse team would pursue conference affiliation after the completion of a committee's two-month exploration and subsequent recommendation of the issue.
In the letter, Daniels wrote: "In the two months since it was formed, the committee has worked diligently to understand the landscape and to consider whether we should make a change. … The committee’s unanimous conclusion, transmitted to me last week, is that Johns Hopkins and its men’s lacrosse student-athletes would best be served by our seeking affiliation for men’s lacrosse only with an NCAA Division I conference. That conclusion was based on committee members’ conviction that such a move will provide our university and history’s most-successful lacrosse program the best opportunity for continued leadership at the highest level of intercollegiate competition. It was based on their conviction that joining a Division I conference for men’s lacrosse is the best course for our athletes, our program and our university, and that it can be done without compromise to our academic integrity or athletic traditions.
