The CCC didn't have an automatic bid until the 1999-2000 season.  I know ENC had a couple teams in the 90's that were probably deserving and could have won games, but didn't get the chance.
The CCC had auto bids in 1995 (Salve Regina), 1996 (Anna Maria), and 1997 (Wentworth). The league didn't have one in 1998 (Wentworth won) or 1999 (Colby-Sawyer won) but has had one since 2000.
Why did the CCC lose it's auto bid in 1998 & 1999?
I honestly don't remember. It was lost on the men's side but kept on the women's side.

No live stats or video: tremendous job done by the ECAC!!!
I know for a fact there WERE live stats as I watched them on my phone and there is still a video link posted on the master schedule on the scoreboard page. And, the game is in the archives of the weekly broadcasts:  http://www.ezstream.com/broadcasts/index.cfm?fuseaction=affilbrd&broadcasterid=60699&Org=EZ&CFID=7165783&CFTOKEN=60635180

There was some mixup where an XML file from another game (and gender) was inadvertently uploaded to that game, which would have caused the switch throughout the Presto network and changed the standings.

Curry beats Salve by 1.  It looks like a lot of teams are coming on late.  This could be an exciting final few weeks.


Curry 12-2
Gordon 10-4
WIT 9-5*
ENC 8-6
Nichols 7-7
Salve 7-7
Endicott 5-9*
WNE 5-9
RWU 4-10
UNE 3-11

*Apparently I had the WIT-EC game result reversed in previous standings.  This is correct now.
Not sure where you got those from. From the league website:

Curry   12-2
Gordon 10-4
Wentworth 10-4
Eastern Nazarene   8-6
Nichols 7-7
Salve Regina 7-7
Western New England 5-9
Endicott 4-10
Roger Williams 4-10
University of New England  3-11

A lot earlier than that. They played in the 1981 NIT. Looking at their media guide from last year (http://www.utpabroncs.com/documents/2011/3/14/2010-11%20Men's%20Basketball%20Media%20Guide.pdf), it looks like the early 1970s they went from D2 to D1 and had been NAIA prior to that.

Short answer:  We had one opening on our schedule due to something not working out with an opponent we thought we'd be playing. UTPA (their coach is a former D3 guy) contacted us in the late spring with an offer to go down there. We couldn't have played a second game as we would have been over the limit.

I also heard UTPA was pretty desperate for a game and offered a generous check.  It's always fun to go to Texas in the winter.
I'm not going to comment on the specifics of what was offered to us, but at the end of the day it's a pretty good deal.
Thanks.  Makes sense. +1! :)

And, yes winter is fun in Texas. My next door neighbors spend their summers in Wisconsin.

Texas-Pan American is also playing another D3 team as they take on the Lakers from Oswego State on Jan 3rd 2012. And like WIT it's the only game the Lakers will be playing on the trip. UTPA must have had some real scheduling problems to end up with 2 games against D3 opponents. I'm sure the Oswego players will be happy to fly down to Texas for a game in the middle of winter.

ESPN Magazine had a small article on UTPA in the most recent issue (I got it two days ago).  The coach is a former d3 guy and the school is in that new D1 conference that doesn't have an automatic bid yet.  The program is also pretty new, so they're really just in a building mode anyway.  It looks like ESPN Magazine is going to be following the team all year and doing updates, so perhaps WIT and Oswego will get some pub from their respective games?
We shall see.

There was a really good piece done by CBS' Jeff Goodman who followed Ryan Marks (UTPA coach) on the recruiting trail this past summer:  http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/view/26283066/1?mcctag=2011%20recruiting%20trip

Curry won the conference in 1986, however there was no AQ

AQ's for all conferences started in the lat 1990's.  I know the year Anna Maria went (1996 maybe?) they were an at large selection.
The CCC had an AQ in 1995 (Salve Regina), 1996 (Anna Maria), and 1997 (Wentworth). The league lost the AQ on the men's side (but kept it on the women's side) prior to the 1997-98 season and re-gained it in 1999-2000, the first year of the present structure where all leagues with seven or more teams get an AQ.

The league website is supposed to be re-launched sometime in the near future (after delays dealing with the company and themakeup of the league)...previous champions I believe are being added to it.

Endicott did win the league in 1999-2000:  http://www.ecgulls.com/documents/2010/11/4/EC.YEAR.BY.YEAR.RESULTS.not.html.pdf?tab=historyofendicottathletics (second page)
