The Week Ahead: Boy’s High School Lacrosse

In case you missed the big news of the day in the lacrosse world, the Big Ten Conference announced it was adding both men’s and women’s lacrosse as the 27th and 28th official sports beginning in 2015.

The Blue Jays become the first such member of the conference in any sport – which is a pretty big statement. The Big Ten Lacrosse Conference will feature Maryland, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers in both men’s and women’s competition. Hopkins will be also be participating on the men’s side, while Northwestern will do the same on the women’s side. "We are excited to announce the launch of Big Ten men's and women's lacrosse and the addition of Johns Hopkins as a sport affiliate member," said Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany in a press release. "Johns Hopkins is an outstanding institution with a legacy of success in men's lacrosse that is simply unmatched in intercollegiate athletics. Lacrosse is an emerging sport among our current schools and is a long-held passion among our East Coast institutions. With the addition of Maryland and Rutgers in all sports and Johns Hopkins for men's lacrosse, we will have the requisite number of institutions to make men's and women's lacrosse official conference sports, building upon our tradition of broad-based sports competition. We look forward to the start of the first Big Ten men's and women's lacrosse seasons in 2015." It is far too early to properly evaluate what the move means for the game itself, but here are a few quick thoughts. ...
