Psssst, someone should tell them it's for publics (i.e. non-recruiting schools)only. Some Catholics over the years (like CM) wouldn't even play in the D-1 tourney after they got bounced or didn't make the Super 8.
Same on the girls side, two Catholic vying for the D-1 Title - they have not ventured into the MIAA dream world of creating a Super 8, just yet.
