The NCUA website is pretty slick, but I just can't quite see how their grand plans are going to get off the ground. Their ideas are awesome, but they are counting on a lot of teams signing up for what is essentially a large scale experiment. Could be amazing. Could uh....not be amazing.
One thing that seems confusing is that they are basing their D1 and D11 of the NCAA football divisions. That makes sense for most schools, but there are some DI schools with lackluster ultimate programs and vice versa. It's a relevant comparison but not all the time. Obviously in general D1 schools will have more and better athletes available to play ultimate, but what happens with a school with no established program? Are they automatically qualified just based on their school's D1 status?
Attending three tournaments that all count towards the championship and a sanctioned season record would be pretty cool, but its definitely not feasible for the Gunx this year. $125 a head per tournament might seem reasonable to the NCUA, but that completely discounts the fact that we have to drive or fly to every tournament and the only one within a reasonable driving distance is in PA.
I do hope that the NCUA meets with some measure of success, because a three championship weekend in Boston would be amazing. I'd been planning on going to natties regardless but Boston is a bit closer than Colorado...
It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Realized today that Fury double peaked. That's damn impressive.
I should pay more attention to the women's division.
Okay peace.

The second one was much more legible. Thank you.
