I was originally going to put together some form of long-form piece on realignment, but I’ll split it up into smaller chunks. First, a few links that I find to be relevant (some are old, but anything that’s no longer … Continue reading
Realignment Armageddon: Happening!
The Big Ten has announced that Maryland will be joining the conference for the 2014-15 academic year, and the popular pick for a 14th(!) school in the league is Rutgers. While this is an unmitigated disaster for the Big Ten … Continue reading

D-1 Expansion: Realignment Obsession
This is probably a post best-suited for the offseason, but I can’t help myself. My biggest question about ripple effects – as it always is – relates to conference affiliations. That means it’s time to break out the conferences map: … Continue reading

This is somewhat-old news, but I just stumbled across it, and it’s relevant to an in-state program. The MAAC will elevate men’s and women’s lacrosse to “core sports” in the near future. Another major component of the strategic plan is … Continue reading
