It's not nearly as nefarious as you portray nor is it a reflection on the school's support (or lack thereof) for lacrosse. Notice how the story is sourced from unnamed coaches and administrators. This has been happening pretty much since the summer with media reporting items about football schedules, basketball, etc. It boils down to the fact that the league isn't ready to officially publicize the schedule.
When the league is ready to announce the schedule, it will do so. It probably hasn't been announced yet because there are a lot of moving parts that are still being ironed out. Questions about facilities, locker rooms, personnel, Covid testing, etc. etc. etc. And I know this because I'm living this right now as well in another league.
The winter and spring are already delicate balancing acts on most campuses. When you overlay a spring schedule on top of that with two soccers, volleyball, field hockey and cross country, "delicately balanced" goes to "chaotic" pretty quickly. And if that's not bad enough, the chaos will only get worse as games will undoubtedly be postponed as we're seeing in the winter with hopes of making them up later on.

The Navy schedule hints that HC would play BostU twice, Colgate, Army, Navy, Lafayette?, Lehigh? |

American offers only six varsity sports for men, not including lacrosse, and eight for women including lacrosse. Nothing against American U., whose stock went up in my mind when I read Dr. Fauci is their neighbor, however they are a somewhat curious match with the original PL teams who offer more sports. I suppose all this was ruminated on before I joined the board.
One reason this isn't a big problem to me is that sports with fewer league competitors, like baseball and football provide an easier runway to the NCAA tournament.

I have worked for IL as a writer in past years, it is the top lacrosse website for a reason and coaches will leak you stuff constantly. |

Check the link. It goes to the 2020 schedule. Leads me to believe it was made live in error. |

Two doubleheaders against Navy at Annapolis. ADMB, in the podcast, said several spring sports would travel outside their 'region'. |

I see nine non-conference games. No conference schedule listed. |
