Re: Delaware to A10?
no decision on what conference the women's lax program will go to. A-10 has been ruled outBigRedChant wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 2:18 pm Seeing reports that the Delaware men are going to A10 for 2026 season- anybody know about the women ?
Re: Delaware’s New Conference ?
I’m wondering if it will be Big East or AAC.

Delaware is joining Conference USA,who doesn't field lacrosse.
I will be shocked if the Delaware womens don't join the Big East.

Re: Delaware’s New Conference ?
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).BigRedChant wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 9:42 am If they aren’t joining the A10 with the men’s team … do they really gain anything with CAA to Big East?

Re: Delaware’s New Conference ?
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?

With Umass leaving the A10 - that means Richmond is the queen to knock off. Sounds doable for a Delaware to me.harflax wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 5:28 pmThe A10 makes the most sense for the programBigRedChant wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 5:21 pmBut how does the Big East and Denver change their situation?
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.BigRedChant wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 5:35 pmWith Umass leaving the A10 - that means Richmond is the queen to knock off.
