Regarding who is still D-2, but on probation, and who is not -- in
response to a post on HOCKEY3, but of interest to others as well.
Quinnipiac only did one year of D-2 to D-1 probation which I believe
finishes in a few days. They received a waiver of the second year from
the NC$$, and will be full-fledged D-1 this summer in all sports. I do
not know if going D-1 in all sports (rather than only hockey) facilitated
the waiver or not. I do know they had to jump through several extra hoops
to get it. I suspect that having a very strong plan and gender equity
from the get-go probably is what the NC$$ was looking for.
