MEAC Announces Policy on NCAA Postseason Bans


NORFOLK, Virginia - The MEAC announced that team's ineligible to compete in NCAA postseason activities will not be eligible to compete for the conference's regular season championship title in the specific sport.

In addition, the ineligible teams' head coach will not be allowed to win the Coach of the Year honor for regular season competition and their teams will not earn points towards the conference's All-Sports tally during the ineligible season.

All MEAC games will be counted towards the overall conference standings despite the team's postseason eligibility. An ineligible team will not be considered the conference's regular season champion if the team finished with the best overall MEAC record. The title will be awarded to the highest team eligible for postseason competition and earn the conference's automatic qualification to the NCAA playoffs.
