Re: 2017-18 DIII News, Game Notes, Etc
Elmira is suddenly in Pool B this year. How does that shake things up (if at all)?Steve

I am sure someone with tighter command of the NCAA regs can set us straight.

Originally posted by obserbear View PostIsn't there an 'access ratio' that is determined by the number of teams in Pool B relative to the DIII women's pool? There appear to be 17 teams in play not in auto bid conferences and a total of 62 programs, so there may be 2 spots allocated to Pool B.
I am sure someone with tighter command of the NCAA regs can set us straight.
As for how many bids for each pool, the NCAA has published a document laying out the conferences, which are Pool A, which are Pool B and at the bottom includes how many bids of each pool there are: 6 bids for Pool A conferences, 1 bid for the two Pool B conferences and 2 Pool C bids that are at-large.

Has anyone else throughout the season noticed the difference in online video/audio broadcasts at D3 schools that have both men's and women's hockey? You can tune into a women's afternoon game and have video with no play-by-play person and sometimes not even the ambient sounds of the rink itself while the game is going on. Tune into the same school's evening men's game and you find it has both a play-by-play guy and a color commentator and sometimes (but not very often) a third person down at rinkside! It has been very rare that I have tuned in for a men's game and found no broadcasters of any kind, and definitely not just video without any ambient rink sounds. I've become quite bothered by the clear differences and general inequity between the online broadcasts of the same sport but simply two different genders at the same school. This is a sign that these schools obviously don't view and treat men's and women's hockey the same. I've never come across those broadcast differences at certain schools that are known as being very supportive of both of their hockey programs regardless of gender. For example, Norwich, Plattsburgh, Elmira, Middlebury, etc. Those are also some of the most successful women's D3 programs in the country every year. Coincidence? I think not!

What I’ve also noticed is the variance in video quality from school to school.

Oh, and for as bad as Plattsburgh's conference schedule is, they still have the number one overall SOS in the country according to the NCAA stat sheets...Steve

But even the school radio stations sometimes don't have the money. A few years back at Buffalo State, the women's hockey coach complained under Title IX the school radio station was not covering the women's game, only the men's games. The radio station said they didn't have the funds to also cover the women, and if you forced us to cover the women, we'll simply have to stop covering all hockey games. They eventually came to some kind of compromise.Russell Jaslow

Originally posted by Scott_TG View PostI think we get 10 bids next year as we add Nazareth, Suffolk and Wilkes which brings it to 65 which gives an exact 10 (unless they for some reason delay the 10th bid to the 2020 tourney).
