I personally believe that money is the exact reason we haven't attempted to add men's lacrosse (and the athletic department doesn't even like the subject presented to them). 
 
At the moment the only men's sport (save football and equating baseball to softball) that we don't offer a women's equivalent is golf.  I saw something a few years back by a group attempting to promote men's lacrosse at UConn which stated that if we [B]a)[/B] increased scholarships where there is availability in current women's sports (evidently we aren't fully funded in some), [B]b)[/B] added women's golf (this would also include cost of a coach or two) and [B]c)[/B] recruited non scholarship women athletes (which would require a budgert increase) to bring total participation is track & field and softball to match men's track & field and baseball we then could add men's lacrosse and still be compliant. 
 
As we currently are attempting to compete with schools who receive substantially more conference revenue than we do I imagine that the added costs of men's lacrosse will be beyond anything the school is willing to undertake until we land in a P-5 conference.
