Kyle Harrison sat down for breakfast on a Saturday morning with Paul Rabil at the 2017 National Lacrosse Convention with a promise of hearing an idea that had the potential to be big.
Harrison and Rabil had been friends since their days playing on the same lacrosse team at Johns Hopkins. The two had always been close, but they had not had the chance to work together on bigger projects because they were signed with competing sponsors.
Now, after being in separate parts of the country for five months, they were finally in the same spot, and Rabil's idea could not wait any longer. He wanted to start a new professional league -- one that was made by and for players to give them a shot at playing full time.
