ACC men’s fan guide?
Man Vol Divers are dominating the SEC 1 meter under the tutelage of Jane of the Jungle and Magic Mike – Just two of the finest diving minds in the USA and the nicest people on the deck!
Any Idea what the roster limits are for each conference this year?
18 total athletes, divers count as 1/2
18 total athletes, divers count as 1/3
18 swimmers + 3 divers (any more divers and its a 1 to 1 ratio)
22 total athletes (everyone counts as 1)
Just curious how everyone else is doing it this year
As far as I know, same as last year for the majors: https://swimswam.com/power-4-conference-scoring-roster-limits-remain-unchanged-for-2024-2025-season/
It’s high time for massive improvement from sophomore Katie Grimes (500 FR, 400 IM, 200 BK).
It’s truly unfortunate that the Mid-American Conference and Missouri Valley Conference scheduled their meets for the exact same dates this year. That puts several combined Women and Men programs at a disadvantage who compete in the MAC for Women and the MVC for Men…UMass, Ball State and Miami…and forces shared HC’s, Assistants and staff to choose which location they will be at. That isn’t fair to the Student Athletes, fans, coaches and staff. And, this could have very easily been avoided by the MAC and MVC working together in the best interest of ALL schools and scheduling one of the meets a week earlier. I really hope both conferences learn from this mistake and don’t let this happen again in… Read more »
