The Intercollegiate Men’s Lacrosse Coaches Association is making an effort to rescind the innovative split-season model that will improve student-athlete well being. Swipe to see my response.

Scott's comment is EXACTLY why new model is needed. Dec. Men's Col.Cup is BURIED beneath the CFP race, college hoops, other NCAA champs. Mens's College Cup in early May is MASSIVE stand alone visibility opp. for deserving @NCAA stu-ath at all levels! @SBJ @theACC @TheAthletic
In the last 4 champs 16 College Cup berths went to 16 diff programs. That includes Furman, Vermont, Marshall, Denver, Creighton and Saint Louis. Evidence that reaching the nat semis isn't limited to the traditional ACC and Big 10 powers. This is your effort to minimize us. 👎🤥

Replying to @ussoccer
@ussoccer strongly supports the proposed new model for D1 men’s college soccer. Given ongoing debate, we wanted to share why this matters, how we engaged in the process, how feedback/concerns influenced the final model, and what happens next. Here’s to growing the game together.
