Subject: Patriot League revises its AI; introduces banding in basketball Author: SAO_Gazer [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:44:05 06/14/08 Sat The Patriot League announced a set of changes to its AI, to take effect with the class of 2013. http://patriotleague.cstv.com/genrel/061308aab.html "Included in the revisions are the implementation of a common League admissions floor, the creation of a system of admissions bands for football and basketball (men's and women's), and a methodology for including transfer student-athletes into the academic index calculation." The idea of going to bands in basketball; might the Ancient Eight ADs be looking at this to see how this works out from a Patriot League recruiting standpoint? Nothing mentioned on the AI floor number, nor what the bands will be. And no mention of how the AI and bands would apply to the PL's two associate members in football: Georgetown and Fordham. As both men's and women's basketball in the Patriot League are scholarship sports, the number of new scholarships in any year can vary greatly; there is no mention of how the bands will handle this. Nor whether the bands will be used for non-recruited walk-ons. Seems like a whole lot of complexity. No word on whether the basketball bands will informally be known as the TA rule.

I heard there are some pretty interesting things being considered but we'll have to see what, if anything, materializes.

[> [> Subject: Re: Patriot League revises its AI; introduces banding in basketball Author: SAO_Gazer [Edit] Date Posted: 18:23:06 06/17/08 Tue Not very practical if applied to a single year's recruits. However, if the bands were applied to the whole team, it might become somewhat practical; e.g., capping the total number of players on the team roster to two in the lowest band. If those two slots are filled, you could not recruit another lowest-band player until a lowest band incumbent was no longer rostered. Thats just my speculating though as to how it might work.
