Lacrosse Going D-1 Soon?
InsideLacrosse is certainly reporting it:

I have my thoughts on this "breaking" news on my lacrosse blog, Great Lax State. Summary: not so breaking (which nothing will really be until there's an actual announcement).
I hadn't realized your lax blog was so developed until this big news hit. Nice site!
I'm interested in seeing who else who this IL story gets to speak on the record. Its pretty amazing that although the Michigan athletic dept. has been silent, all sorts of people they might be speaking with re: scheduling, conferences, etc. has been quite willing to comment openly.
I'm super-curious about whether it's lacrosse people (JP, the Director of Operations Joe Hennessy) talking to these people, or Michigan's Athletic Department.
It would certainly provide a lot of clarity about how close this is to happening.
Games at Oosterbaan with a 40 in a brown paper bag were definitely some of my undergrad highlights. I wouldn't be surprised if they tightened up security, like they did at baseball games, and stopped allowing people to bring in whatever they wanted as long as it was cloaked in the entirely obvious brown paper bag.
