Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

NJ is a growing Lax state similar to Long Island and above NYC and upstate and CNY. Middle and upper class moms rather their kids play Lax than FB...I'm afraid Lax popularity is coming at the expense of FB!?!

They're not the same season, so I'm not sure what the issue would be there.

The travel model is nearly year 'round. You'd probably have travel in the summer/fall with winter conditioning and then the HS spring season.

This would be very unusual. A lot of kids play on summer teams, but there isn't much lacrosse happening in the fall at all before the college level.

South Florida has fall ball for ages K through high school including tournaments.
 
It does happen at the high school level as coaches pressure kids to pick a sport and not diversify.

I'm actually in the high school sport space and it happens more than you'd think. Makes no damn sense to me.

How many Indian reservations in NJ? From what I see, Lax is hugely popular here in the Fall.
 
Thank you sir may I have another.

Not sure about Indians? I see more cowboys lol...nah I left Jersey in the eighties for NYC and greater Albany,NY but still have a mom,friends and siblings there and notice many who WOULD have played FB when I was coming up now playing more and more Lax...upward mobility? Who knows but parents seem more inclined to keep their kids away from tackle FB into the safer but more expensive Lax....hate to say it but FB is or seems to be following the path of boxing!! And inner city kids prefer hoop's so the sport of FB is shrinking little by little south evidenced by the scarcity of talent the further north and east you go much to my dismay. Don't see a reverse of the trend either. The future is in Lax in the fall but will spectators care? It seems the B1G is betting on it.

I've been in Arizona and Cali near and on reservations and never once saw a game of Lax though i get your point. Its non Indians who are pushing Lax now..this ain't the seventies or eighties anymore. Natives are making up less and less to the point i almost forgot it was rooted in Native culture. Truth is all's i care about are the scores...looks like a fun game too play though?

Indians aren't the same everywhere. Lacrosse is an Iroquois sport. It's not like the New York Indians exported it to the Apaches.

There are a ton of Indian kids upstate who play lacrosse, and most High School teams around here have quite a few members. This is probably also why the National Lacrosse League has multiple franchises in upstate New York but also Canada.

Remember this from a few months back?

Half the Akron, NY team was Indian.

The ball game of the southeastern indians was known as "the brother of war" (they had the attitude right from the start). It is not as directly related to Lacrosse as the northeastern game since, unlike the northeast indians, they didn't use a single three foot pocketed stick....but the physicality, injuries, and sometimes deaths, could relate to football.

The pitting of town against town...sometimes with the object of hitting the goal in the opponent's village several miles away, made for great rivalries, I'd imagine.

FWIW, I expect the Big 12 meetings will focus heavily on championship game. Despite Bowlsby comments last week, I sense lots of opposition

Dan Wolken @DanWolken · 8m 8 minutes ago
We will see how opinions on champ game evolve after they talk but going into meetings it seems like many ADs need to be convinced
 
Every time I open this thread it is to see a credible source announce "UConn to the B1G", every time.

Of course I'd take an AAU announces UConn as new member...
AAU – a step in the right direction if you want the B1G. But as you know, many (some) schools with this accreditation and, generally speaking, within or near the B1G’s current footprint haven’t received an invitation, yes? Troubling times.

I know that's what you meant ... I was jk but like i said upstater i'm quite familiar with Native difference's regionally similar to european celtic tribes,culture and regional uniqueness. Keep us on our toes though upstater..i enjoy benefiting from you're knowledge.

Agreed Gretchen, but UConn's pedigree goes far beyond it's research acumen. The AAU is just a potentially significant missing link.

Welcome Gretchen I enjoy you fresh and unique views recently.

Thank you, Nicky. It is a pleasure to be here.
Yes, welcome to the Boneyard! Gretchen, just curious as to who you root for in college? Curious because Indiana was our first opponent at the Rent. Therefore, they will always be a B1G part of "our" history! LOL

Bad Dog! You already know for whom I root...you looked at my profile. Thank you for your kind greeting. Now be a good doggy and don't stir the pot!

Bob Bowlsby said Big 12 ADs briefly discussed eight-game league schedule but preferred to stay at nine.

Andy Staples @Andy_Staples · 31m 31 minutes ago
Bowlsby said league probably shouldn't make drastic change (title game) based on one year of results.

Andy Staples @Andy_Staples · 29m 29 minutes ago
Bowlsby said he still feels like lack of a title game puts the Big 12 at a disadvantage, but he can't quantify that disadvantage.

Andy Staples @Andy_Staples · 28m 28 minutes ago
Basically, there doesn't seem to be a ton of support among the members for a championship game.
