[quote=Anonymous]I’m highly skeptical you will see any significant change in Conferences. Not because it isn’t a good idea for most schools. Not because it wouldn’t produce a better arrangement in the longer term, but because it would face a number of shorter term barriers. Including:

Lack of Leadership - a school or a couple of schools would have to lead the charge and not the AD. This would have to be a couple of the school heads that drive this.

Internal Dissonance - especially from some of the alumni of a couple of the schools who would correctly see this as downgrading. Also their own staffs, some of whom would not be excited about the prospect of facing Landon or Bullis each season.

Bad Publicity and Risk - what hit a hornets nest with a stick when it isn’t necessary. Change has risk and none of the Heads like risk. Things could go wrong and they’d be blamed.

Effort -this kind of change would require them to do some actual work managing through the process and all the changes. And these people, in my experience, avoid any thing that even suggests additional effort will be required.

It would actually be easier for the IAC not named Prep to upgrade their own lacrosse coaching and programs than to tear down the entire structure and start something new.[/quote]
