Sport sponsorship: Jacksonville will add men’s and women’s lacrosse for the 2009-10 season, bringing the school’s sport-sponsorship total to 20. Mindy McCord will serve as women’s head coach and director of lacrosse. A search is underway for a men’s coach. Jacksonville will be the only Division I men’s lacrosse program in the state. Florida is the only other school to sponsor women’s lacrosse in the state. The school will seek an affiliate membership in another league for the lacrosse teams because the Atlantic Sun does not sponsor men’s or women’s lacrosse championships.

Conferences: Toyota joined the Big 12 Conference Corporate Partner Program. Part of the partnership will be a “Test Drive a Tundra” promotion at all Toyota dealerships in the Southwest region. Each fan who test drives a Toyota Tundra will receive two free tickets to a Big 12 football game. Other Big 12 partners include Dr. Pepper, Chick-Fil-A, Gatorade and ConAgra.
