Looks like there is a huge divide between the top four schools (Cabrini, Rosemont, G-M, Marywood) and the rest of the pack.

pacerhorse, I'm sure Marywood has a great facility, but USMMA hosted the Landmark championships for the first few years so I'm pretty sure they have a decent facility. Susquehanna also hosted MAC championships of yore, but I'm not sure they can handle the diving part of Landmarks.

It must not have been that great if the Landmark decided to add a new affiliate just to host the event. Didn't the Wilkes-Barre CYC always host the MAC Swimming Championships? I am almost certain that SU's Garrett Sports Complex isn't functional for diving. I agree with you overall. I like the Landmark, and more schools is better than a cluster of one-sport affiliates. Sure they should use them in sports like women's lacrosse, where the LC only boasts five programs.

(As a side note, anyone "in the know" about swimming? How is Marywood a swimming-only conference member?)

Marywood puts the Landmark Conference with eight swimming programs. Moravian doesn't have a team. As far as I know, none of the Landmark schools have facilities capable of hosting a conference championship. Marywood just built an exceptionally nice facility two years ago, and hosts the Landmark meet every year.

Washington & Jefferson is similarly a men's lacrosse-only conference member.
