Doesn't Air Force also play against UAH? I thought that the UAH games
counted for Air Force. (My understanding was that UAH was officially
D-I this year, although UAH is ineligible for NCAA play since this
is the second year of the team's transition from D-II.)
UAH is also playing Michigan State and Bowling Green, and I thought those
two schools would not consider playing UAH until games against the
Chargers could somehow factor into the NCAA tournament selection criteria.
