[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 317526, member: 265"] I agree that soccer and lacrosse could and probably will recover costs if established. Koolaid is right; soccer is growing like a weed in the US. It isn't simply demographic changes either; football is being seen more and more - correctly, I might add - as a dangerous sport. Result = parents are more reluctant to allow their kids to play football and more likely to push soccer. Lacrosse is a different story. Here I think the main thing would be that fielding a team increases the exposure of the institution nationwide. Lacrosse isn't that big down here, but, in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and up North, it is [I]huuuge[/I]. If Tech fields teams that compete in the NCAAs - and I bet we would - a lot of potential students and athletes will take notice. That can't hurt. I say do it if the money situation improves as much as some speculate above. [/QUOTE]
