It has since changed to the Big East. The Big East chose to give an exemption for Providence, as some schools like Creighton and Marquette put serious money into that sport and don't want a lax member that would bring down the RPI. The NCAA rules allow it but conferences mostly dont.

The MAAC allows Fairfield to affiliate men's lacrosse with the CAA, which is a tougher league. If this is a rule, it seems to have a lot of exceptions.

Didn't know that. Good info.
