Burmy Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Not only do we have our first NIT qualifier (OVC #1 seed Morehead State lost to SEMO tonight in the conference semis), but we are guaranteed a team will make it to the Big Dance for the first time in the 21st century (Either for the first time since 2000, since 1963, or ever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 So, Merrimack is about to be in the position Bellarmine was in last year, on the cusp of the conference tournament, but ineligible for the NCAA or the NIT because of the four-year ban all incoming schools face as a punishment for daring to cross over into D1. They will be eligible beginning next year, but I've never heard a good reason for why the ban is a good rule in general, only "that's the rule and it has to be followed." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is just sad that that rule still exists. NCAA ruins dreams So far Fairleigh Dickinson (who benefitted from said rule Burmy brought up) and Southeast Missouri State go dancing for the first time since 2019 and 2000 respectively. 2 down 66 to go.

The reason I've felt as to why they have the restriction in place is to make sure that schools don't take advantage of the money they could earn in D1 if they make the tournament and then just pull the plug on the plan and drop back down into D2. Also, schools making the jump to Division 1 have to make sure that they can reach the financial and academic goals set by the NCAA to become a D1 school. Not everyone can make it, but those who do are pretty happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough...so let's have the period be two years, so that we don't punish an entire incoming class for their whole collegiate career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 What Hartford did was completely different. They're dropping down to Division III, where the costs are far, far smaller at that level. Not to mention that the *ludicrous* amount of schools in New England alone means that there's always competition for them to play against at that level. Also... Two years? Nah. That wouldn't work. Division II already has a three year period and many schools see Division II as best place for their programs. As of right now, there are seven schools in the transition process (D'Youville completes it this year; followed by the trio of Allen, Edward Waters and Emory & Henry; Then you have the trio of USC-Beaufort, Thomas More and Westmont) and six more schools (Jessup, Menlo, Middle Georgia State, Roosevelt, Sul Ross State and Talledega) looking into it. That's a little more then the 10 schools moving up to Division 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
