THE
INDY SCENE IS DEAD
All four 2013
independent programs will be in conferences by 2015.
BIGGEST WINNERS
Four fi rst-year teams (Furman, High Point, Richmond and Boston University) have a path to the tournament (and championship) in year one.
WHO’S
ON DECK? Minnesota has
considered adding men’s lacrosse. A Big Ten title prospect may tempt the Golden Gophers.
Penn State St. Joseph’s Towson
MORE MAY MADNESS?
NCAA guidelines favor a 50-50 split between AQs and at-large bids. With nine AQs by 2015, play-in games or a larger bracket could be in the cards.
2013 2015
MOST MILEAGE
Denver. The Pioneers have never had many local games, but playing in the Big East adds even more miles to their itinerary.
