NESCAC to limit postseason play
The New England Small College Athletic Conference presidents voted to become a full-playing conference over the next three seasons and, in the process, limit postseason play to the conference champion.
The NESCAC currently does not keep conference records or standings, and all members are free to accept at-large bids to the NCAA and ECAC tournaments. This action will eliminate ECAC postseason competition.
This season, the NESCAC sent four schools to the NCAA men's tournament. Under the new plan, Williams, which advanced to the Final Four, could not accept a postseason bid. For more details, read the full NESCAC press release courtesy Bates College.
