Roster rules changed in 2025. Since 1 July 2025, Division I schools that joined the House v. NCAA settlement cap men’s lacrosse rosters at 48 and may fund a scholarship for every rostered player (the old limit was 12.6 scholarships). Syracuse University reported 56 participants in 2024-2025, so expect fewer roster spots for incoming players than a few years ago. Current athletes may be grandfathered.
