Any other coach would have done the same darn thing. If you think they wouldn’t you are fooling yourself and it would be plain dense if they didn’t. Plus if we want to watch some good competition, ND needs to be in the mix
The UVA coach was in the same exact position and did not. She believed in her players to beat one of the top ACC teams in the conference tournament. No other team in the top 20 was anywhere near the .500 record requirement. So one team did and one team did not. I am on the side of UVA’s choice.
UVA did not have an available game to schedule.
Not sure exactly what that means but what I do know is that what Notre Dame did was Bush League. Obviously the coach did not believe that her team could win the competitive games that remained on her schedule so she scheduled a game vs a team that Notre Dame beat 27 - 2 and for that they will be rewarded. It's a darn shame that some team out there will not make the tournament because Notre Dame found a way to game the system. The NCAA really needs to change their rules, it's complete BS.
what frustrates you is that what ND did was perfectly legal under NCAA rules and there is nothing you can do about it...GO IRISH:)
No but there is something the selection committee can do about it and take 5 ACC teams including UVA who has no losses outside the top 15 .[/quote]
This past season there was a man who competed for the women's swim team at Penn, that was perfectly legal under NCAA rules, obviously several NCAA rules need to be amended.
