A few things that really caught my eye:

1. No information whatsoever on the Southern Conference. Are they even playing this year? That's one of the most spread out conferences (if not the most spread out) geographically speaking.

2. CAA has plans to play two opponents twice each and four opponents once each. However, the CAA has only six members: Delaware, Drexel, Fairfield, Hofstra, UMass and Towson. It could be that the plan is to play two members twice and three members once each (likely split is Fairfield/Hofstra/UMass and Delaware/Drexel/Towson), although that would mean seven conference games and unequal split in home/away conference games (although other conferences as well as the CAA have gone through that in the past.)

3. Utah is the only independent mentioned, although according to Inside Lacrosse, Cleveland State, Hampton and Robert Morris are also independents.

Speaking of which, relatively few conference alignment changes per Inside Lacrosse:

1. Furman (formerly a member of the Southern Conference) dropped MLAX (previously announced.)
2. NJIT (previously independent) moved to America East.
3. Robert Morris moved out of NEC and is now independent.
