2023 Men's Water Polo Collegiate water polo has gone through a significant conference re-alignment this year without the fanfare and TV contracts that have accompanied the realignment of the major college conferences.
For the first time the Big West and the West Coast Conference will each sponsor men's water polo. Davis joins UCSB, UCI, UCSD, CSU Fullerton and Long Beach State in the Big West. This will be a tougher conference top to bottom than the Western Water Polo Association. As of now Davis is ranked #5 in the country, behind of course the Big 4 - Cal, Stanford, USC and UCLA.
