Re: Utica College 2017-2018 season
The number of teams per conference requirement is not meaningless. The D3 regulations mandate a ratio of 6.5:1 for the number of teams in the National Tournaments. Leagues settle in at the least number of teams necessary to earn a bid. If the number of teams per league were less than 7, we would have too many Pool A bids. Add two Pool A slots and we are down to only two Pool C bids. You object to the number of Pool C bids as being too small - having a minimum league size that is less than 7 would make the situation worse than it already is. It would actually be better in terms of Pool C bids if the minimum league size were increased, not reduced. Again, these regulations are consistent among all D3 sports - by a vote of all of the D3 programs in all sports. Like it or not, that is the way NCAA D3 is governed.
