Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4177426, member: 3609"] The biggest problem that men's lacrosse faces in expanding is Title IX. The 85-scholarship hole that football creates is difficult to overcome. There are a number of FBS schools, notably BC, VA Tech, Louisville, NWern, Vandy, Florida, USC-w, Stanford, Cal Berkeley, Oregon, and (starting next year) Clemson, that have women's teams, but no men's team, to get better Title IX numbers. Another factor that spreads lacrosse and is extremely appealing to athletic departments is the Men's Club Lacrosse Association (MCLA) which gets the school's name out into the lacrosse world (GA Tech and BYU are top teams) but doesn't count against their Title IX numbers because they are not part of the athletic department.
