NCAA Lax Selections

Just noticed this "letter to the editor" at insidelacrosse.com:
--------------------------------------------------
Obviously there are many Cornellians and Cornell lacrosse supporters that were deeply disappointed by the seedings that came out last Sunday evening. After spending nine successive weeks as the number 1 ranked Division 1 team in the country many people were shocked (not surprised) by Cornell's fourth place seeding. Also, I believe that there are many other lacrosse enthusiasts independent of Cornell that were unsettled by the committee's results. We believe the method employed in this selection process is flawed. However, as lacrosse fans and former players, our focus is now on supporting our team and the sport and, as you have kindly suggested, we will share our views on this issue and provide you with our more fully researched "point of view" at an appropriate time sometime after Memorial Day. Until then we're looking forward to reuniting with our friends, witnessing some great lacrosse from some of the nation's finest academic institutions. Let's fill the M&T Bank Stadium.
GO BIG RED

Editor: There's a healthy attitude from two of the game's greats. We look forward to taking a closer look at this process after the season.

With that noted, I've yet to see anything specific about anyone rethinking the selection and seeding criteria.

With that noted, I've yet to see anything specific about anyone rethinking the selection and seeding criteria.

In any case, regardless of whether Inside Lacrosse looks into the criteria, I have a hard time believing anyone of consequence will do so.
