I believe it is the Princeton ‘Men’ who will not be in the IVY League Championships. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Time for my favorite couple of weeks of the year!
I agree with you, Friuti…exciting time of the year, to follow all the conference championship happenings, and the buildup to the NCAA meets. Crazy fun to keep track of the results and to guestimate what the cutoffs will be for NCAAs, etc. I’ll enjoy these next few weeks with you, as well!
Jared, thank you so much for putting this all together! I’ve got it bookmarked and will refer to it frequently over the next few weeks!
Why does Texas even go to conferences it’s, it’s a waste of time for them lol!
Couldn’t agree with you anymore. All of the teams in the big 12 is a joke. Just another example of Texas taking the easiest road possible. #STATEment
I feel no which way about NCState, but dude give it a rest
Dude, You need to STOP! You are hurting NC State’s reputation…
They never had one to start.
He’s not even an NC State fan. I thought that was pretty obvious.
It should not be based upon geography. Ca has about 4 counties in the top 10 in the US and Texas 2 counties. The large states should compete against each other. Texas is like Ca, the size of a European Country.
Yeah because I’m sure Texas as a school is choosing to stay in the Big 12 based on men’s swimming…
Swimming is a sport of the have’s and have not’s. Let’s just face the fact that there are only about 8-10 schools in the country with the roster depth to really compete against each other, and some of that depth is geographically centered around some prime swimming regions, It’s hard to deny CA has depth with Stanford, Cal and USC all having deep men’s and women’s programs – and with neighboring Arizona (plus UCLA women) adding and incredible presence in the west. There are very few teams in the Inter-mountain, Northeast, and to some extent the Midwest that really have the recruiting prowess to land a super deep swim team.
Awesome!
