And yes, grad transfers and 25 year olds did put them over the top, but NCAA allowed it and other teams tried it too and the Terps beat them at that game. UMD now has a 4th national championship. And they're now 4-12 all-time in the title game. Every other storied program (Syracuse, UVA, Duke, Princeton, UNC) has a winning record in the finals. Hopkins is 9-9, but Maryland would have to win 8 in a row to reach that mark.

Not sure if NCAA will change the rules, but either way Maryland will become a dynasty. This guy is a great coach.

I really like Lars Tiffany, but over time it will be Tillman with all the records.

He’s been there for more than a decade already. He would have to coach into his 70s to even have a chance to eclipse Tierney’s records, and it will never happen.

Why are they 25?

Most kids graduate at 22 so even if it was 2 more years aren’t they 24?

Lots of them take a PG year or “holdback” and so they graduate high school at 19. For example Donville did a PG year at Deerfield.

Is this the norm? How many are actually 25?

They don’t like to say, and very few of them have DOB in their bios. DeMaio is definitely 25. I have heard there are others, Rutgers had some also. You would be able to see if a kid did a PG year, but no visibility on kids who “reclass” or “holdback” which has been very prevalent for a while. https://deadspin.com/why-rich-lacrosse-parents-are-making-their-kids-repeat-1570381983

Why do you care and why does this matter?

Someone asked a question to which I responded. Why do you care? Do you have a problem with people talking about this?

DeMaio is 25. Wiz will be 24 in a couple weeks.

So what? I mean seriously. What is the problem?

Eligibility for participation is governed by rules set forth by the NCAA. No one has questioned their eligibility.

If you don’t like the rules, go and complain to the NCAA.

Congratulations to the Maryland Terrapins for their dominant season led by 24 and 25 year old “college students.”

Have you considered crying about it?

You mad, bro? Defensive about the fact that Maryland is a crap school with low standards?

The colleges and universities board is down the page. This is the lacrosse board. This year Maryland is the top of the heap. Almost did it last year too. Poised to do it again next year. Been playing varsity lacrosse here for 100 years and never, not even once, have they ever finished having lost more than they won. Can any of your precious Ivy League schools say that? Thought not. Take your observations as to who has the best PhD program in Sanskrit elsewhere.

And yet Maryland went more than 40 years without winning a championship and there’s an Ivy League school that has won more championships than Maryland. How embarrassing.

Maryland hasn’t even been able to win as many championships as UVA and UNC. And then they left the ACC, showing how unimportant lacrosse is even at UMD.

Big Ten had two teams in the final four. How many did the ACC have?

Leaving the ACC has proven to be a poor move for UMD. The football team has only gotten worse and they no longer have the classic ACC basketball games.

This is wrong for many millions of reasons. Staying in the ACC would have bankrupted Maryland’s athletic department.

What’s your basis for this? No other ACC athletic department has gone bankrupt. Is Maryland inferior operationally and financially to all of them?

ACC SIGNED A TERRIBLE TELEVISION DEAL THAT RUNSS THROUGH 2036 for football. Will put the ACC schools at an enormous disadvantage relative to the SEC and Big 10. PAC 12 needs a good negotiation when their deal comes up in a couple of years. But Big Ten is a much better place than the ACC to be for a school. ACC will have problems over the next decade.

Big 10 is: Maryland, Rutgers, Hopkins, Ohio State and Michigan

ACC is: UVA, Notre Dame, Duke, UNC, Syracuse

Hard to argue that ACC had a good year.

This is correct. However, it is hard to get your arms around Big 10 as a powerhouse lacrosse conference.
