So what is going on with Navy? No Hovis, no Prince. Can't be good for business.
Re: EIWA This Weekend: Nov 1 - Nov 3
Wasn't aware LIU had joined the EIWA. I have no idea what they are about, but I surmise they are in the genre of a Sacred Heart?
Re: EIWA This Weekend: Nov 1 - Nov 3
I believe that LIU was admitted in April. My question is why. Doesn't that bring us to 17 teams forcing a pigtail at each weight?
Re: EIWA This Weekend: Nov 1 - Nov 3
A couple of us at the EIWAs last year as this was being batted about made the offer to have Cornell join the new MAC/EWL merger which would bring them up from 15 to 16 and keep us at 16.
I'm not sure why but it didn't work!
Seriously, we need to be encouraging more D1 teams. A minor logistical issue shouldn't prevent that.

Re: EIWA This Weekend: Nov 1 - Nov 3
LIU announced the merger of its two campus sports programs and the move up to Div I about a year ago. At the time they seemed more suited for the EWL but with the EWL/MAC merger that's off the table. The EIWA voted to admit the 17th team shortly after the tournament, if memory serves.
Geographically the move makes a ton of sense; Hofstra is a few miles away and Columbia's in Manhattan, so a team can pick up other duals on a trip to Noo Yawk. There was some discussion about unbalancing the EIWA brackets but I believe the coaches' vote to admit LIU was unanimous.
This may be the unintended consequence of doing away with the regional qualifiers. LIU is a Div I team and needed a conference in which to qualify. In case no one's noticed, wrestling conferences are becoming few and far between, just as the number of Div I schools is gradually increasing.

Re: EIWA This Weekend: Nov 1 - Nov 3
Does any know if the 16th + 17th ranked guys will meet in the [ogtail.
If so would they then meet the first seed, or justomly one of the top 8.
We could go to 20 teams with no one having to wrestle more than 7 bouts (if he finishes 3-6), Assumng correct bracketing, like PIAA.

Re: EIWA This Weekend: Nov 1 - Nov 3
I apologize for being ignorant on this matter but if the merged EWL/MAC was looking for a 16th team wouldn't it be the ideal landing spot for LIU?
Re: EIWA This Weekend: Nov 1 - Nov 3
I believe that is the intent, although I can't find it explicitly stated in the latest seeding procedure.
