Following the InsideLacrosse post this morning, I reached out through official channels to get comments from a spokesman for the Michigan lacrosse team. His response:
I really wish I could [provide comment or confirmation], but I need to defer to Athletic Media Relations on that.
UNDETERRED, I sought comment from Michigan’s Athletic Department:
We are exploring our options but no decision has been made.
That’s a far less rosy picture than we’ve seen lately. However, I haven’t heard any reason to believe that varsity lacrosse WON’T be happening at Michigan in the near future, and I would guess it’s just a matter of making sure all ‘i’s are dotted and ‘t’s crossed.
I’ll keep following the story as it develops.
