I want UConn to add Lacrosse, because it will be fun to watch Whaler have a stroke over it.

I really don't care. I don't know why people have a hard-on for it. I understand liking it, I don't understand not understanding it's a niche sport.

The athletic department needs to put every resource they have into football. Any time or money spent on lacrosse is wasted and could be better spent.

Every sport offered by the NCAA is niche, with the exception of Football, Basketball, and to a lesser extent Baseball and Hockey.

They need to hire a better coach first, or all the time and money in the world won't mean .

Yeah more specifically every cent should go to the football coaching staff.

There are people who can't impact the results on the field that do impact marketing. They need to be focused on football.

Everything but football and basketball is niche.

Kevin Duffy has an article about this subject. It's funny, well-written and well-sourced article.


"Scenario A: The Big Ten wants to add UConn as an all-sports member on the condition that it starts a men's lacrosse program.

I imagine Warde Manuel hanging up the phone, throwing on some goalie gear, sprinting around campus to round up kids and personally holding tryouts outside of Gampel Pavilion. Score on Manuel, you're on the team. Misfire, you're off."
