What is the criteria for a league to get an AQ? I thought it was the number of teams in the league but Upstate,SUNYAC,Capital and old Dominion all have 7 teams and get AQs while Litlle East and Empire 8 have 7 teams and don’t have an AQ. It certainly isn’t the quality of the league because the Commonwealth and Knickerbocker Conferences don’t have a team good enought to make the New York State High School playoffs much less belong in the the NCAAs playoffs. Is this afirmative action gone awry? Also why just 14 teams and not 16 teams and then have 2 pool B teams. Guess it must be a reward to have a bye than a scrimmage against the US Merchant Marine, Endicott or Drew.
