This petition is to express to the NCAA how disappointed the lacrosse community is about limiting the rosters of the teams who are invited to play in the tournament.  Every college athlete has sacrificed this year with additional Covid requirements being added to the already rigid University rules.  Our athletes have been training and living together since August.  It is a shame to send only a small roster to the tournament games. 

Each team is exactly that, a full team.  Every player contributes to the team.  Whether the player starts, is only utilized for practice, or is injured – they are a part of the team.  They deserve to be a part of the NCAA tournament.  Each player should be able to cheer on their teammates from the sidelines.

Please sign this petition so that the NCAA understands the value of the team.  A team wins a championship, not a shortened roster.
