What Division III sport should we add a board for next?

[Gray Fox]

Water Polo is a big sport in the SCIAC.  It has been for at least 40 years.

I knew the Cali schools would be heavily involved.  Do they compete with d1? Are there divisions in NCAA water polo?

You learn something new every day....

haha... the top 10 is ALL ca schools!

Because only 24 of the 46 NCAA schools playing Men's Water Polo are not in California.

There are many ways to get a national championship.

Speaking of rare sports.  Anyone know which one has the fewest participating teams?  I know there is a way to check with some time invested on ncaa.org.  Maybe I'll do it tomorrow.

It's gotta be something like Equestrian or Archery, right?

[diehardfan]

So, uh, can someone explain to me some of the rules of water polo? I would really like to be as little of a clueless girl as possible tomorrow.

Well there are 6 ODAC teams, I believe, that have equestrian, so I doubt equestrian is it. It seems to be at a lot of expensive private schools.

No touching the bottom of the pool for any reason!

Actually there are more rules, but that one is the most impressive.  These guys tread water for like an hour, while being climbed on by other guys and having a ball thrown at their heads.  It's truly a great sport.

Rifle and Skiing have some teams.

Gotta love google... just saw that too a few hours ago.

Rifle is the sport with the fewest number of NCAA varsity teams, 50. There are 13 in Division III, apparently, three men, three women and seven co-ed.

Next lowest in Division III is gymnastics: 17 teams, 15 women's and two men's.
