Funny, while men may well play lacrosse, I more thoroughly associate it with women and women's sports. There are a lot of schools which field a women's team but not a men's team, partly as a balance to American football, which is almost exclusively male.
How is it that the subject of women's lacrosse gets almost totally short shrift here?

This is a very valid criticism, although this same bias carries over in almost all sports discussions. Ultimately, someone should start a women's section to this entry and later expand that to an entirely new entry, once enough material has been built up. It would be a nice project for someone who has the time and inclination. Incidentally, the women's game is the newer and less covered version of this sport, in spite of the above comment. But it is definitely true that there are more women's varsity teams being established in short order as a way for the schools to balance against the rather large American football male rosters.

Perhaps since Women's lacrosse is fairly different (rules, equipment, etc) than the men's another article is more appropriate. Rename this article Men's college lacrosse and link to Women's college lacrosse in a "See Also" section. Bhockey10 (talk) 23:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
I believe NAIA lacrosse should be merged into this page because it is basically an unreferenced list of the teams in the NAIA. It belongs in here after it is cleaned up a little bit. --Yarnalgo talk to me 20:41, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
It could be argued the NAIA entry needs to be cleaned up a LOT before it is possibly merged. I started checking on these so-called NAIA college lacrosse teams and so far, the only ones I'm finding are CLUB teams already affiliated with the MCLA or NCLL, referenced elsewhere. I'm thinking whoever started this section doesn't understand the distinction between club and varsity teams, even though these institutions go out of their way to keep that very clear. EmjayMiller (talk) 23:52, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
As I'm looking at the club lacrosse information, I'm realizing it's oversimplified at the moment, since both the MCLA and NCLL both have 2 divisions each, within the same conferences. I'm noticing in the tables that these divisions are mixed together, though splitting them up properly will take about twice the space they have now. Plus, colleges often simultaneously host both varsity and club teams in the same sport, but listing these same schools twice in the same entry is likely to be overly confusing. Thoughts on splitting?

It hit me earlier today how to address a number of issues particularly with the lack of women's lacrosse coverage and also the possible splitting of the article (as discussed in the discussions above). After taking a look at other similar articles on the other college sports I realized the tables of every team is the thing that is creating the length of the article and also creating more of a list than an article. I used the format of other college sport articles and also of the NCAA DIII section and now all sections are similar With a paragraph or two of prose then a short list of the conferences. The sections can/should be expanded with more writing and information but this is a good start. Decreasing the amount of tables also provided more room for Women’s NCAA lacrosse information. Now Men’s and Women’s LAX are covered evenly in the article. In addition to new sections on NCAA women's lacrosse there are short sections for NAIA and NJCAA lacrosse. I originally kept tables of the Independent NCAA programs but that gave undue weight for them compared to the others so those tables were moved to a new page NCAA independent schools (lacrosse) and linked via an item in the conferences section. Overall I think the changes were effective. We now have room to add more information without the article becoming too large to find info and make it difficult for readers.

It's way late on a Sunday night - but the Division I men's lacrosse map is very out of date. So a) I hate pointing out problems when I don't have a solution (because I don't have the technical skills to fix this - but a1) if I can figure out how to get a hand edited map to someone with those skills - then maybe it can get fixed; b) too tired now but I suspect that all of the maps might be out of date. Maybe someone smarter than I can check this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.83.139.85 (talk) 05:47, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
