The 2024 season is just about a month away. USA Lacrosse Magazine unveiled the USA Lacrosse Division I Men’s Preseason Top 20 on Wednesday, with defending champ Notre Dame unsurprisingly beginning the year above the rest.
Given the ever-changing conference landscape of Division I college athletics, next up in our preseason content is providing a lay of the land as we enter the spring.
There will be considerably more conference movement once the 2025 season rolls around — and you can be sure we’ll provide another update then — but it’s still helpful to get familiar with the 10 Division I men’s conferences before High Point and Mercer kick off the season on Friday, Feb. 2.
