Is Lacrosse on the Cusp of a Division I Sponsorship Explosion?
Tuesday, June 05, 2012
John Paul huddled with his players after they had just defeated Michigan State in last year's club lacrosse regular-season finale. Paul, a University of Michigan alum and former athletics administrator who over 14 years built arguably the most successful club lacrosse program in the nation, had an announcement to make. The Wolverines were making the jump to Division I, beginning with the 2012 season.

No BCS school had launched a varsity men's lacrosse program since Notre Dame did so in 1981.
