Could big changes be coming to NCAA golf regionals?
In an email obtained by GolfChannel.com, the NCAA’s Championships Finance Review Working Group asked Division I coaches across sports for feedback regarding several cost-saving recommendations.
One recommendation calls for a significant reduction in the number of teams who make the postseason. The idea suggests postseason fields be comprised of 15-20 percent of the total number of participating programs in a given sport.
Currently, 81 men’s teams and 72 women’s teams qualify for the postseason in golf. The proposal would see those numbers cut to 60 and 54, respectively.
