Maybe this is part of the grieving process or a force of habit, but either way, I made a Big Board for today. It was eerie going through each team’s home page as I was filling it out, only to see the word “Canceled” on the schedule page. On the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse schedule page all the unplayed games have been removed, leaving only a handful of game day box scores & recaps from earlier this season on the page, which was tough to see.

While a few team sites said that their games today were postponed or suspended, I think those were just euphemisms. Even if the COVID-19 outbreak stopped in the next month or so and things started getting back to normal by mid-April, I doubt any of the games scheduled for today will be made up this year.

Here’s a bit of good news: NCAA to grant spring sport student athletes extra year of eligibility.
Then around 2:00 PM the Inside the NCAA Twitter account Tweeted out a post that confirmed much of the earlier speculation and provided clarity on the issue. The Tweet stated that the NCAA Board of Governors encouraged conferences and schools to make decisions in the best interest of their students and to consider “necessary adjustments to or waivers of rules where appropriate.”

Good move by the MCLA as well.

It ended 17-16 in overtime. The Cavaliers had one last chance to compete.
Heartbroken for our guys. Especially our seniors.

So lucky to have these guys | To tell them their SR year was done after all of their hard work was heart breaking | I knew it was a special group when they committed+they proved that countless times | A true team+group of friends | Love you guys, we will move forward to honor you pic.twitter.com/ftU0lDmnUc

I feel for all the athletes who represented their programs with class and dignity. Although our time was cut short, the 2020 Michigan Men's Lacrosse team, will leave an incredible legacy behind them. I am forever grateful for the time we had together #LeadersandBest pic.twitter.com/4wUV7ev4Et

From Syracuse.com: John Desko on breaking coronavirus news to Syracuse lacrosse.
Friday afternoon, Desko appeared on Brent Axe’s ‘On the Block’ show on ESPN Radio Syracuse to discuss some of the issues surrounding the development.
Telling his players
”We were supposed to be on a bus this morning to head down to New Jersey and play Rutgers. I had to tell the guys right at the end of practice yesterday that wasn’t going to happen.
From the Times Union: UAlbany lacrosse’s Scott Marr consoles players, daughter.
“I love being around them,’’ Marr said. “I felt like we were really starting to make some headway and start to gel. This week of practice was awesome. We had already had a good week of practice and it’s just, to not see a team grow until the end, until the final whistle, cut short, was just tough.”
This should be a good podcast.
Looking forward to joining Jamie Munro LIVE on Facebook at 230Pm ET to discuss a variety of lax topics.

What do you think we should cover?
Filling the void left by COVID?
Being a good lax citizen at this time?

Rest in peace: Le Moyne saddened by passing of Kaiden Tubbert.
The Le Moyne College community is mourning the sudden passing of Kaiden Tubbert, a junior midfielder on the men’s lacrosse team, early this morning.
”We are deeply saddened by this incredible loss, and we extend our condolences to Kaiden’s family and all those who knew him,” said Le Moyne President Linda LeMura. “I know that I can count on the compassion that is a hallmark of Le Moyne to get us through this extraordinarily difficult time. I ask that you keep him, his family and friends in your prayers.”
Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire @LeMoyneDolphins family and the family of Kaiden Tubbert on their sudden loss. https://t.co/3fxDyog44I

Still, with the majority of voters saying that Syracuse is the best team in the country, and no one to prove them wrong, it’s only fair they hand over the title to the Orange, no?
Lehigh senior Erik DiGirolamo will graduate in May with a finance degree and has accepted a job offer that will begin in September. This week, because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, his college lacrosse career ostensibly ended. But what if the NCAA can engineer a way to extend eligibility for those athletes whose spring seasons have been canceled? Thousands of athletes like DiGirolamo will face a decision.

The last time the Boston University men’s lacrosse seniors gathered wasn’t met with any fanfare. Instead of finishing the season together on senior day, in their final Patriot League contest against Army on April 24, the seven seniors practiced with their teammates one final time Friday before they will disperse.
