The MIAA in Lacrosse is still the SEC in college football.
There are up years and down years. But it’s still the strongest and most respected conference in the country. By A LOT.
It all comes down to money. The kids in the Baltimore and DC area will travel to wherever they get the sweetest deal.
St. Johns and Spalding have proven it. None of those starters lives within 2 miles of those schools. The best kids may live within 30 miles of DC or Baltimore, but they will play wherever the grass is greenest regardless of conference or tradition or anything else.
If the DC schools open their purses, the MIAA disappears.
