From Inside Lacrosse

On the heels of ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips saying last week that athletic departments could go from 28 sports to 6 if student-athletes are deemed employees, many of Terry Foy's friends feared the worst.

But arguing that that's a negotiating position, Foy's point is that none of us knows what's going to happen with the future of college sports, and that there's a version of events that could be beneficial for the future of college (specifically men's Division I) lacrosse.

From Inside Lacrosse: We're nearly a week past the vernal equinox and Easter is Sunday — if lacrosse bridges winter and summer, then surely this is the Midseason Week on Inside Lacrosse, so as part of the Top 20 exercise, we revisit how each team's future championship odds currently compare to their odds on Feb. 6, right on the heels of Week Zero.

Notre Dame is No. 1 in the Men’s DI Media Poll for consecutive weeks after handling a Top 5 matchup against Syracuse on Saturday. It sets up another Top 5 ACC matchup when they travel to No. 3 Duke this coming Saturday.

From Inside Lacrosse...Cornell and Syracuse renewed their rivalry by taking to new heights:

By halftime Tuesday night at a wet Schoellkopf Field, 24 goals were scored, four unsportsmanlike penalties were called, a starting goalie was out, a longpole scored between his legs and an assistant coach had been kicked out.  

It only got more interesting from there.

The CAA seems to be falling apart in bits and pieces:

Next season will be Delaware's last in the Coastal Athletic Association. 

After more than two decades in the CAA, the Blue Hens and Atlantic 10 Conference have both announced that the Delaware men's lacrosse program will join the A-10 as an affiliate member effective July 1, 2025, ahead of the 2026 season.

From Inside Lacrosse... honors continue for the best long stick player in college lacrosse...

For all the talk of the Big 3 attackmen heading into the season, it's the Big 1 who is Player of the Year.

Maryland defender Ajax Zappitello has been named the USILA's Lt. Raymond J. Enners Outstanding Player of the Year. He was the lone unanimous vote-getter for the USILA's voting.

Having watched Norte Dame MLAX now for 6 quarters, our team losing 14-9 was not bad at all….not bad at all.

Danes finish at #18 in the final poll.  Not bad.  My guess is they'll be in the top 15 at least next year, unless the portal gets them.

Hopefully no one jumps ship, and the incoming freshmen are as talented as the Blogger Grayed_Dane_NIL believes they are.

This final IL Staff column for the final Media Poll Top 20 serves to wrap up our final thoughts on how these teams fared throughout and their outlooks moving forward.

NCAA is looking to tweak some rules, from Inside Lacrosse: The NCAA Rules Committee made recommendations at its meetings in Indianapolis this week — notably some tweaks to the video review and changes to officiating the face-offs.

Our ranking comes as no surprise as our facility for seating is better than most.
