 This fall, Boston University will begin scouting and recruiting players for its new Division I men's lacrosse program. It took them long enough, there's been rumors about it for a while now, and it's just making the school look a lot better. We got D1 hockey, so why not bring lacrosse into the picture? In July, BU Athletics announced Ryan Poli as the new varsity head coach. Poli has promised that all players on the men's club team will have the chance to try out. I suspect the varsity program will take, I don't want to suspect it, it will take a solid core of guys to join with their recruits, so everyone on this team really has an opportunity. While the Division I team will open new doors to the BU Athletic community, it will inevitably shut some doors as well. Next year's incorporation of a men's varsity team will most likely result in the end of the club program, due partially to rules set by the club's collegiate league. If we lose the club team, it will be a loss, I suppose it could always be restarted in future years, so I think that's still up in the air. However, despite an uncertain future, those involved with the club remain positive. It makes this season the last season for some of these guys, but it will be a big opportunity for a lot of other guys. Reporting for BU TV 10, I'm Victoria Price.
