I have word from people who have played BC (they have 2 club teams; one is MCLA D1 and the other is smaller, more grass-roots) that they are in the money-raising process to go D1. Their MCLA team has had some success, and already has things in motion to make the move in the near future. I was not told the time frame, just a mention of a specific dollar amount they need to raise.
UConn and UNH both should add it. Both have decent club teams and have local talent they can draw from to get things started.

Thanks for the correction! I fixed the post up with a shout out. You’d think as a Boston native I would have known that. Thanks again.

Would love to hear more on American. I didn’t consider them, but they do seem like a good fit. Any thoughts? I don’t know the school that well.

Also American University fits the model and I’d consider for the list.

Uhh Northeastern did drop football about two years ago. They should be on the top of the list.

Add Cleveland State to the watch list. Cleveland State has no football team and has recently dropped baseball. John Parry is the AD there and was the AD at Butler while there was a lacrosse team. They dropped baseball citing facilities and money. But their athletic site has a note about a new potential lacrosse club.
