Just settle down here. A said, thank goodness we have an AD the thinks about the future. Consider a few things:
1) Lacrosse is HUGE. Wrestling does not even come close beyond High School.
C'mon man, 1AA the buzz-kill. Trying to kill off the vicious battle between men's wrestling and women's lacrosse?!?!
Lacrosse is HUGE?!?!? On which planet would that be true? Certainly not this one. Tell me the best teams in college lacrosse (without looking it up, we all have google searches)
Football draws, Men's BB draws, Women's BB draws pretty good, but only about 1/4 of MBB, and EVERY OTHER COLLEGE SPORT draws fans by the dozens. If it wasn't for parents and personal friends, it would be 1/2 that.
Arguments about whether lacrosse will outdraw wrestling in really lame. Hasn't ANYBODY been to a spring practice? How does Waid look? THAT is the only real sports question for YSU this year!
No, between wrestling and Lacrosse. Lacrosse is huge ...quite ...much more so than wrestling. I have no idea on the women's teams, but traditional powers in men;s Lacrosse are very well-known now, thanks to Duke. Some of those are Loyola, Johns-Hopkins, Duke, St. John's and Notre Dame. Average attendance for DI men's lacrosse is usually between 2,500k (JHU) and 6,000k (Syracuse). Largest championship attendance was Maryland vs. Loyola at 30,816 just a couple of years ago. The largest sanctioned DI lacrosse game was in Philadelphia and drew 59,501. "And those figures ain't shrinking"!
