From THE NCAA NEWS, November 14, 1994:
The following two paragraphs were tucked inside an
article delineating a request by the NCAA Division I
Baseball Committee to allow D-I schools to schedule
four non-D-I baseball opponents that will not be
considered in computing the RPI:
[begin quoted material]
The formula for the RPI is as follows: 25 percent for
a team's won-lost record; 50 percent for its opponents'
won-lost record and 25 percent for the records of its
opponents' opponents.
The Executive Committee will address a related issue
-- whether to release RPI data for all sports committees
that use the program -- during its December 3-5 meeting
in Kansas City, Missouri.

Also in the issue, Jeff Kolcon and Tom Masaschi are the
two new assistant coaches at RIT. Kolcon was a zone
manager at Ford Motor Co in central FL and Masaschi
is a former hockey/lacrosse player from RIT.
