The Cavalier AD (MItch Greenwood) was on Dom Izzo this morning. I agree with Mitch and Dom that the "success points" stuff is not the best route. It forces teams up a class based on success. It's kind of a punishment.
Conversely, I also think it is good policy to allow teams to petition (and get approval from the committee) to opt down to a lower class if they've had a really bad run for a few years. Then I think success points should come into play for those that opt down -- if they have a few good years and hit X amount of success points, then they should move back up to the class that their enrollment places them in.
Voluntary opt-ups? ALWAYS a good policy!!!!!
