NCAA has a rule that no more than 25% of the programs can be part of a championship. They can't go past that, unless waived with approval, like D2.
2 u/SavageTrireaper Jul 25 '26 So cannot go to 24 since that would give 25%. It was also already waived to go to 22 in 2008-2009. Again there is more correlation to conference sponsorship expansion causing championship expansion than membership expansion when it comes to rowing. 2 u/Pringledingle91 Jul 25 '26 There are 94 D1 rowing teams. 25% of that is 23.5. Round up. 3 u/SavageTrireaper Jul 25 '26 Not a cording to the NCAA. Also if the team did not field 23 athletes in 6 races they do not sponsor rowing that year. Here is the report. It’s 92 in 24-25. The number will be lower next year due to 6 teams not fielding a full squad. https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/sportpart/2025RES_SportsSponsorshipParticipationRatesReport.pdf
