Remember that either UWW or UWL will get two iin region losses when they play the tournament. I remembr a B&W team that benefited missing thre OAC tournament and those two in-region losses, making the playoffs when they would not if they played the tpurney.

Are you sure, Ralph?  The wording is unclear as to whether or not it's all sports, or just football:

Quote"In addition to the bracket expansion in football, there will also be a single at-large pool for bids, combining the previously used Pools B and C. "

If it was for all sports, this would more clearly indicate that:

Quote"In addition to the bracket expansion there will also be a single at-large pool for bids in all sports, combining the previously used Pools B and C. " (since there is no bracket expansion in many sports)

It is unclear. Practically speaking, Pool B in D3 has always been dominated by UAA, WIAC and/or C2C schools and not CUNYAC. Even the CCS did not earn a bid in year 1.

Ralph, it appears you're right.  Dave McHugh said the same thing on the latest Hoopsville and he told me that the Management Council discussed and approved the "single pool" approach across the board.
