What are the opinions of the board members of FAU fielding a lacrosse team?  I know as always we are tight for funds but this is the fastest growing collegiate sport in the country.  The growth of youth lacrosse in South Florida is incredible.

does anyone know if there has been any discussions to start a program?

This a big sport in Florida high schools?  Went to HS in Texas, just curious.

Boca High has fielded a team for over 10 years and the private schools have had teams for a lot longer than that.

GO OWLS!

This weather sure didn't help our football camp. BUT, it would have been very impressive if we had our sports facility completed.

The problem with Lacross it's viewed and still played by mostly white and upper class kids who if good at the sport do not go to FAU.

Yeah I've always viewed it as an Ivy League sport, like rowing (another sport I wondered if FAU would ever get into, along with an equestrian team)

But we're upside-down on so many sports as-is, I doubt we'll add anything for decades. And I'm fine with that.

Right now we just need to get football everything it needs to be competitive, which unfortunately is always a moving target.
