Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3176788, member: 2504"] I would love to see UConn field a men's lacrosse team, but there is a rather big problem with money as has been point out. UConn can barely scrape together the dollars for the various athletic facility improvements they are currently doing with ice hockey, and it has taken a long, long time to see any progress with the facilities for men's and women's soccer, baseball, and softball. If someone was willing to donate the millions of dollars to fund a men's lacrosse team, I'm sure UConn would be quite willing to do it. I seem to remember the athletic director saying as much in a speech a couple of years ago. But barring that, UConn is not going to be adding any sports do to its financial situation. If UConn were ever able to gain acceptance into the Big 10 or the ACC, that would probably change the financial situation for adding a team, but UConn has been waiting for that invite for some time now, and it doesn't exactly seem to be on the horizon.
