Sorry if your silver spoon, elitist attitude will only allow you to cheer for the Baltimore teams. I'm sure if it were up to you the league would be a 5 team league, that's great! Grow up! I'm sure u probably never played a competitive sport in your life or you would know how to win with class and loose with dignity.

Compare the % of holdbacks & out of staters across the last 5-10 years of the top of the MIAA vs. the bottom and the results are what you would expect. It is MCD, BL & CHC vs. the rest. The best that the rest of league can do is just hope to make top 6 a few times in a 10 year period. Playing field is very tilted. In the darkest corner-very off the record many of these wins for top schools must be hollow victories except for when they play each other in the championship game. Don't come on here and say recruit better(money giveaway) coach better, etc,.. I doubt if any of the other schools are just going to erect a dormitory or start a sizeable lacrosse endowment overnight. In the end, most of the 11 are schools first. Lets start by requiring the 11 schools to play A conference in every sport but one in each of the three timeframes(Fall, Winter & Spring). That would be a good start to keep schools from loading up on one sport. CHC, LB, MSJ & Spalding already have a jump start with this approach. Don't make excuses about size because you can't have it both ways. Its not about preserving your little spot in the A conference for one/a few sports. It is about the long term competitive health of the entire league. There are many positives that would come with it. For example, there are many football players that are lax players that want to play on a competitive level in both.

The bigger enrollment schools don't really want kids plying 2 sports. No matter what they say during recruiting. They will let you play jv through sophomore year and cut you JR year.

They need kids to "specialize" in one sport so they can say "75% of our students play sports." If kids play multiple
V sports, their overall participation rate drops significantly.

Multi sport V athletes occasionally happen, but are the exception at the big schools.

It's pretty simple. And common sense. If you want to play multiple sports, go to the smaller enrollment schools.

Hi John Carroll Dad! All of the big schools have multiple no-cut sports so that % you mention is always padded and never a concern.

The big schools have individual cultures around Multisport athletes and yes, at least 1, but not all, pushes athletes to choose. And guess what if your son is big amd fast, they'll want him on the varsity bench even if they have to share him with the cross country team lol
