Do any of you guys who follow college swimming have a sense yet about the impact of the FINA tech suit ban is having on elite swimming times?
I tried looking up results this year and last year--I know the Championships haven't taken place yet for the top tier, but some big meet started Feb 17th (and is presumably over now)--but I just couldn't figure out how to find the data necessary to make a preliminary comparison.
Thanks.
I'm sorry to hear that. I hate all this jockeying between conferences; it is always driven by football and/or basketball -- that is, by money -- and sports like swimming get shafted.
Davidson and CoC are both great schools.
yeah swimming has always been looking for its niche conference at both of those schools. both are int he SoCon for some sports, but the SoCon doesnt have swimming, hence our joining the CAA. they have since formed their own new conference, the CCSA: Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association.
i always thought the CAA didnt have ENOUGH swimmers participating in it either, so the decision to remove teams based on over crowding always baffled me.
