Talk:US Lacrosse Women's Division Intercollegiate Associates

US Lacrosse Women's Division Intercollegiate Associates is the long, formal title for the organization run by US Lacrosse to administer it's national women's collegiate club program. For short, it's typically referred to as WDIA and if someone can create a redirect from that abbreviation (sorry, I have no idea yet how to do that), that would probably be a good idea.

Some of this content came from US Lacrosse Intercollegiate Associates, which is an entry I find unnecessarily confusing. "Intercollegiate Associates" is a general term for the men's and women's collegiate club team programs that US Lacrosse created some years ago. The "US Lacrosse Men's Division Intercollegiate Associates" grew significantly and was later renamed the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association or MCLA for short. While it is still associated with US Lacrosse, they no longer directly run it because it became unwieldy for them. I'm not really sure at the moment the best way to reconcile my new entry US Lacrosse Women's Division Intercollegiate Associates with the previous entry US Lacrosse Intercollegiate Associates without removing almost all the content of the latter. I would welcome suggestions on that.

Lastly, I have to say I was surprised that we started down the road with our mutual goal of more women's college lacrosse content with WDIA teams. I would have assumed someone else would have tackled the larger NCAA teams first, but hey, progress is progress, so I'm willing to start here if someone else was kind enough to do some of the initial footwork. : ) EmjayMiller (talk) 21:49, 10 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Please note that I have now cleaned up the entry US Lacrosse Intercollegiate Associates and I hope my changes now clarify the previous confusion. EmjayMiller (talk) 21:47, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
