I think your timeline is a little off. I had been told almost three years ago that if UR was to elevate Lacrosse, another sport would likely have to go, and it was likely to be Soccer. They made the decision that they wanted to elevate Lacrosse, but realized that it might take years to raise the necessary funds. Instead it took months, so the decision was announced much earlier than expected. I do not like all these unfounded rumors being spread that someone "demanded" soccer, or that a gift for a future building was tied into this decision. Lets stick the facts known, rather than spread nasty rumors..
