Utah added Lacrosse this year

Utah has the same Title IX and funding problems we do. And they don't

1 - get to play in the best conference like we would.
2 - have easy travel. Utah's travel will be crazy considering only Air Force and Denver are anywhere near them. Lots of flights for Utah, bus bus trips for VT.
3 - they have no special access to good recruiting areas like we do (except the Colorado front range, which must be better than anywhere else out west). We would get a lot of great players from Nova.
4 - Not sure about the PAC 12 TV network and Lacrosse. I have to think it is of less interest on the west coast. The ACC network would have a LOT of lacrosse games on it, just like the Big Ten network does.

We have no excuse, IMO.

Pitt to Add Women's Lacrosse -- HOO86 11/06/2018 3:11PM

It would be nice to get MLAX to 6 teams -- HokieDevil 11/16/2018 1:44PM

I wish Georgia Tech would add it. -- HOO86 11/16/2018 4:27PM

Maybe in a year or two... -- EDGEMAN 11/17/2018 09:21AM

I hope we don't add any teams, possibly eliminate some, -- Hokie `04 11/11/2018 08:35AM

Excuse me we do just fine -- Mercury 11/12/2018 06:38AM

But do the attendance figures reflect that anyone cares -- Hokie `04 11/12/2018 11:53AM

If you asked that question..... -- 2hhoop3 11/15/2018 11:06AM

VT one aspect of the VT strateg is the offering of "diverse' NCAA lvl sport -- Mercury 11/12/2018 6:31PM

I can tell you this -- SoCloseHokie 11/15/2018 07:47AM

You’re exactly right. VT doesn’t have the finances... -- BallinVT 11/15/2018 08:14AM

Can you promise VT really see football is KING ** -- SoCloseHokie 11/15/2018 08:30AM

The only way we would add teams is if the ACCN brings in enough... -- EDGEMAN 11/11/2018 09:22AM

In order for the ACC to get to 6 men's teams in lacrosse -- VTHokie2000 11/07/2018 1:03PM

That stinks because I would love a Men's Lax team here ** -- Hamburger 11/10/2018 05:22AM

Maybe it does stink. -- VTHokie2000 11/10/2018 9:18PM

Football brings in the money to pay for all non-revenue sports -- EDGEMAN 11/11/2018 07:38AM

I don't disagree that football does bring in the revenue -- VTHokie2000 11/11/2018 09:51AM

They have equal access - all it takes -- RTFC 11/15/2018 09:05AM

If women truly had equal access -- VTHokie2000 11/15/2018 11:21AM

Guarentee if they could generate income, this wouldn't be an issue. -- EDGEMAN 11/15/2018 1:58PM

But yet schools had no problem sponsoring men's non-revenue sports -- VTHokie2000 11/15/2018 2:32PM

I heard louisville May start men’s lacrosse -- Mercury 11/09/2018 11:34PM

That might get delayed -- mrcaniac 11/11/2018 12:55AM

Utah added Lacrosse this year -- Truthahn 11/09/2018 5:18PM

I've suggested University of Richmond. -- HOO86 11/09/2018 10:42AM

Navy would be better than Richmond lax -- Truthahn 11/09/2018 5:44PM

Navy would be good, but I think happy in the Patriot League. ** -- HOO86 11/16/2018 4:43PM

Richmond dumped Men's Soccer to get LAX, btw -- Truthahn 11/09/2018 5:21PM

Got to meet the ratios Title 9 ** -- Mercury 11/06/2018 6:28PM

Just have the football team identify as transgender and then the federal -- manassashoo 11/14/2018 08:05AM

That’s an interesting take. Would like to be a fly on the wall at that -- RJHokie 11/14/2018 09:06AM

Someone should come up with a women's sport with like 80 women on each team -- Truthahn 11/09/2018 5:23PM
