UNCA is playing no exhibitions this year...
...and reading the following quote makes me wonder how we get away with FIVE non-I's on our schedule...assuming PC is NOT considered D-I (including exhibitions):

However, both UNCA squads elected to forego their exhibition contests after becoming aware that doing so might violate NCAA rules since they can only play a certain combined number of non-Division I opponents — including exhibition foes.

“Due to a recent interpretation from the NCAA, many schools were under the impression that you could play four non-Division I games, excluding exhibition games,” said Janet Cone, UNCA athletics director. “The NCAA recently informed the Big South Conference that the league basketball programs could only play four non-Division I games counting both exhibition and regular-season games.”

How sad is it that the NCAA has to crack down on our conference about the number of non DI teams we can play. I feel sorry for this years champ.

You're absolutely right, LUConn...

...let's see how many each school has (counting exhibitions):

LU........5 (or 4 if PC is counted as D-I)
UNCA...4 (plus the two cancelled exhibitions)
WU.......3 (or 2 if PC is counted as D-I)
CCU.....4 (or 3 f PC is counted as D-I)
CSU.....4
RU.......3 (or 1 if PC is counted as D-I...RU is playing them home and home)
VMI......5 (already played an exhibition vs W&L)
HPU.....4 (plus another potential in NJ Tech...not a full D-I member yet)
PC......3

NJ Tech is done with their exploratory year, they now count as DI. They're in the same status that Longwood has been until this season...probationary DI.

PC is neither D-I or D-II this year.

PC is neither D-I or D-II this year.

Perhaps they should be considered I-AA
