D1 Lacrosse passed hockey recently in men's, far ahead in women's.

It used to be true that there were more NCAA D1 ice hockey programs than men's lacrosse. Today there are 68 D1 men's lacrosse programs, and there are 60 D1 men's ice hockey programs. With women's it's 103 lacrosse vs 36 ice hockey.

Lacrosse is growing rapidly for women. I'd love to see the men's pick up the pace a bit. But it is tough with title IX, and the South and West are slow to adopt lacrosse.

Yeah, I'd guess this is mutually beneficial. It keeps ND hockey -- reestuart 03/23/2016 11:26AM

My impression was ND didnt really have any relationship between big ten -- Mercury 03/23/2016 08:58AM

One way or another, I wish ND would commit full time to one... -- cincyhokie 03/23/2016 07:34AM

There is now speculation Arizona State will join Big Ten Hockey too. -- HOO86 03/22/2016 8:45PM

I found the following quote from the article both interesting and ironic -- VTHokie2000 03/22/2016 10:56PM

How long until the rest of your sports move to the Big-10? -- EDGEMAN 03/22/2016 7:56PM

There have been many articles about ND not belonging in Hockey East. -- HOO86 03/22/2016 7:14PM

Yeah, we did not fit into that league at all. I am surprised the Big 10 -- goldendomer 03/22/2016 7:24PM

If you thought Notre Dame didn't fit the league, then -- VTHokie2000 03/22/2016 7:30PM

Hockey is regional so it makes sense. Surprised though ** -- goldendomer 03/22/2016 6:05PM

1 sport down, how many more to go? *TIC* -- VTHokie2000 03/22/2016 6:54PM

With our history it surprised me a lot -- goldendomer 03/22/2016 6:57PM

Right, Swarbrick would have refused just to spite Brandon ;) -- SeaBlue 03/22/2016 7:32PM

Our relationship the last 10 years had gotten real bad, after Brandon left -- goldendomer 03/22/2016 7:44PM

From what I can tell Notre Dame has always had an interesting -- VTHokie2000 03/22/2016 7:03PM

"Interesting" in the sense on how Notre Dame -- VTHokie2000 03/22/2016 7:52PM

Is there a "position" on ND research? -- SeaBlue 03/22/2016 9:25PM

The last time the Big Ten and Notre Dame explored the possibility -- VTHokie2000 03/22/2016 10:43PM

Yep, I remember that -- SeaBlue 03/23/2016 07:45AM

We wanted to join the Big 10 and were denied and Yost hated -- goldendomer 03/22/2016 7:13PM

Yost just hated ND football fans -- SeaBlue 03/22/2016 7:26PM

Delete** -- goldendomer 03/22/2016 8:10PM

Delete, don't need Michigan and ND drama spreading to other boards. ** -- goldendomer 03/22/2016 8:10PM
