Marquette to Go Varsity in Men's & Women's Lacrosse
Marquette will join the Big East Conference in men's and women's lacrosse beginning with the 2012-13 academic year. After a season as an independent, the Golden Eagles will become Big East Lacrosse's eighth men's school and 10th women's program.
Does this mean Syracuse will get one less Out of Conference opponent in 2012?

Goodbye Albany/Hofstra

Kind of disappointing.
I’d rather be playing a decent-to-good upstate rival than a glorified club team.
I guess this could be better for lacrosse longterm. But I don’t really like it now.
I'd rather take my chances and make more good programs across the country.
So we could get NCs that actually mean more if the good players are all spread out.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking for the long term.
But it just means Cuse plays one more scrub on the schedule for a few years until Marquette gets up to speed with its lacrosse program.
This sucks.
Glad the BE opens up their arms to programs that are completely building from scratch. I dont think Marq even has a club team. What a joke.
Google 'Marquette Lacrosse' and click for images
Looks like we just added a very, very, very GAY team.
The picture Sean put on College Crosse.
has some VERY cute women in it. I don’t know about the mens team, but there’s a vibe I get from chicks with sticks.
And before you complain about losing an OoC game
remember we didn’t play Dook in the regular season until AFTER the Big East started (we’re playing them this year in NJ).
As long as we don't give up playing Virginia/Princeton/Duke/etc.
I’m fine with this move. As adselver said, we gained Duke as an opponent after the Big East formed and lost none of our big non-conference games or rivalries this season.
That being said, don’t yank Albany just yet. My attack linemate from high school’s playing there starting 2012 and I’d love to see him in the Dome (or… well, maybe Cornell or Hobart will schedule them so maybe you can yank them out)
All in all, good for the growth of the game. Now if only Michigan could get their club lax team to the D-1 level..
