Rolleyes Utah in talks w/ B1G, ACC & Big East about joining in lacrosse
When it plays its first season in the spring of 2019, Utah will be the Westernmost Division I team in men's lacrosse — Denver and Air Force are the closest geographically — and the first Pac-12 school to add the sport.


The team will likely start with eight scholarships split among 40 players before building its way up to a full 12.6-scholarship allotment. They'll play games on the women's soccer field and practice on the artificial surface in the center of Utah's track. The Utes are in early talks with the ACC, Big Ten and Big East to join a conference.

Minor stuff but I thought it was odd some B1G fans were getting too excited over this. More than likely, Utah will join a league and eventually be able to form a western league of lacrosse schools.

Last I heard, lacrosse was the fastest growing sport in the country. I'm not sure how those figures are calculated. I'm guessing it has something to do with the number of kids playing.

With that said, I think lacrosse will probably continue to grow and more collegiate programs will be added in the coming years.
