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

no decision on what conference the women's lax program will go to. A-10 has been ruled out

[Wlax31]

I’m wondering if it will be Big East or AAC.

Why has the A10 been ruled out? And why are they leaving the Colonial?

[LaxDadMax]

Delaware is joining Conference USA,who doesn't field lacrosse.

I will be shocked if the Delaware womens don't join the Big East.

[BigRedChant]

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.

I can't see them willing putting a non-revenue sport in a conference that makes them travel to Denver, Milwaukee, Butler Indiana, etc. I would imagine they try to keep them closer to home. Delaware will need to put aside a lot of funding to keep football up to par with other FBS programs.

Guessing CAA won’t let them stay (see JMU).

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 program

With Umass leaving the A10 - that means Richmond is the queen to knock off. Sounds doable for a Delaware to me.

If having a real shot at the aq is the goal - A10 makes sense to me too (especially since you have the boys going anyway)


Otherwise keep the rivalries and history growing in the CAA

the A-10 has already turned Delaware's request to join.
