The D3 At-Large Window opened this year on September 28th. That means the John McNicholas invite didn't count and leaves a smaller window for team to earn quality wins.
D1 opened up September 13th and D2 opened up September 18th.
Johns Hopkins Coach, Bobby Van Allen, walked us through his proposal of moving up the window to 9 weeks prior to the national meet. It was passed at the coaches convention but the NCAA committee rejected.
He shares why opening up the window gives the committee a better opportunity to view a teams full resume, why can let team go run meets they want to run, and ultimately he doesn't want to eliminate the data.
We go more in-depth on the proposal and what other changes could benefit D3.
