If you are a lacrosse fan this is HUGE news. This is the equivalent of Nick Saban being let go at Alabama. Pietramala and Bill Belichick are close friends. Belichick is an enormous lacrosse fan, having played it in college. His children are all coaches in the sport.

OMG, it's bigger than that. It'd be like John Shuster being let go at The U.S. Curling Team.

Seriously, you are abusing the "BREAKING" feature, it's not for flogging your personal hobby horse, it's for the whole of Free Republic. There might be one other person who cares about this obscure sport and this obscure school... and it's SPORTS, which isn't exactly breaking news - unless it's the Kobe crash or something.

Not cool.

I know nothing of lacrosse. I assumed some researcher was leaving over bad Wuhan plague data.

Get lost. This sport has been mentioned many times here by me and others. You don’t like it don’t read it. That’s THE ACTUAL TITLE on IL, not my add on.

On the side toolbar there’s about 50 Breaking News stories. Sorry if you are a sports snowflake.

Obscure? The fastest growing sport in America via participation the last 10 years. And the OLDEST team sport in North America, BY FAR.

University of Cincinnati just announced they were dropping their Division I men’s soccer team. The team has been a UC staple since 1973.

I think a lot of Universities and Colleges are going to be cutting sports programs to keep their budgets intact.

The Coronavirus coupled with reduced enrollments are going to really impact schools over the next decade.

It’s even worse than that. The XFL filed for bankruptcy today. :-(

The loss of the NCAA tournament will greatly reduce revenue sharing with D1 schools.

But Diversity and lbgqwert classes will resume.

Sorry, but I’m going to have to agree with those who think this is the dumbest post I’ve seen in a long time, considering the current situation. :)

On this morning’s Today’s Toons link there was a great cartoon about the hot girl now looking at the passing Survivalist while her Diversity Studies Major boyfriend stewed . . .

I saw that. I am bummed. I liked The XFL. Bankruptcy is not the end of the world. It just wipes out debts. The XFL could be back in a couple of years.

There is likely a bigger picture. NCAA programs began today to cancel some secondary sports because of loss of revenues. NCAA B-ball , tuitions, and possibly fall football.

More to come.
