Maryland Lacrosse

from a historical perspective, sure the ACC trumps the Big10 in lacrosse.

Clearly, the sport continues to grow and we are seeing a big shift.

The Big10 was better than the ACC this Spring.

And on a side note, Notre Dame won't remain in the ACC forever. (or whatever weird relationship they have with the ACC)

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?

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.

Maryland, Rutgers and Hopkins are historically powerhouse lacrosse schools.

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?

Actually, there is a strong argument that these “older” players are already in their physical decline and should be having a hard time keeping up with the young 20 year olds.
