As a Sun Belt fan - I hope JMU continues its success (just short of the championship!) in all their sports,

BUT - almost everyone of significance left their football program which means that they are huge ? In that important revenue producing sport.

Why would the Big 12 start a new conference if wlax was completely doomed?

I have to think these big school athletic depts have a decent guess of where this is going.

Delaware was among the country's biggest disappointments this year with a losing record in the CAA. As long a Stony brook is in the conference they would be better off in another mid-major conference. But how does the Big East and Denver change their situation? The A10 makes the most sense for the ...

If they aren’t joining the A10 with the men’s team … do they really gain anything with CAA to Big East?

One thing they don’t gain is a better shot at the AQ and the tournament.

top 3 in all 4. So what you are saying, is that they would be one of the top 4 teams in EVERY conference except the Big 10 and ACC and the 2024 version of the Ivy. Congrats to the D3 champs - but I’m not sure why we need to turn this into negatively commenting on a lot of hard working D1 young wome...

FOX is giving each big 10 school about 100 million in broadcast fees - That’s a lot of money to a school that maybe cares about football, maybe cares about basketball, but definitely cares about women’s lacrosse. And it’s a great school that any elite hs lax player would love to go to even if they w...

Northwestern is a full member BIG 10 school - why wouldn’t they be included with your other BiG schools?

Some things I have heard: Current discussions are around football, basketball, baseball/softball being "tier 1" sports with revenue sharing for student-athletes probably starting in the neighborhood of 20-25 mil split how the school sees fit.You will still have big time conferences simila...

1) Because a scholarship given by a school is essentially paying yourself - wouldn’t that still be possibly a cheaper alternative than paying out cash and expecting to get it back in tuition ? 2) looks like Syracuse is almost 80,000 a year - good for those girls if they are making more than that in ...

I'll never understand the mindset that wants to speed up a game that is already typically over in 2 to 2-1/2 hours. What's the hurry? TV scheduling is the reason, if we are going to say they need to do a better job spacing out the prime games for maxing out viewers- there needs to be consistency in...

Rather than get rid of the draw - keep it at the beginning of qtrs and what if we added to the strategy of the game by giving each coach 2-3 “draw cards”. This card would allow the coach to call for a draw after a goal. Something like this would make the game move faster for most of the game - but s...

I have to think getting recruited for soccer is a million times more difficult than lacrosse (and I know lax is tough) - since you are competing with the world

If attendance and viewership is critically important - game times MUST change.

Who can go to/watch a game at noon on a weekday ?

Important weekend games need to be spaced out.

While I understand those thoughts about the draw - I just don’t want to lose the awesomeness of the stick drop.

Without a ride - shot clock definitely needs to be dramatically reduced .

This is the most important issue in college sports right now.

As long as Title IX is in place - do you think wlax will be ok ?

Seeing reports that the Delaware men are going to A10 for 2026 season- anybody know about the women ?

ACC as a whole will probably be changing soon (I’d say within 3 years) : Clemson, FSU, UNC to BIG or SEC VT, PITT, Louisville to BIG 12 others- ? As somebody else said - wlax has nothing to do with this, it is all about football. 2nd- but far away from football, is basketball. Which means wlax power...

Navy (15-4) beat Duke (10-8) H2H and most recently lost by 1 to 8 seed Loyola in OT.

Duke’s most recent game was 19-5 loss to BC (a more lopsided win for BC than when they played Albany).

Seems obvious that Duke got a pity pass
