I'm sorry but why does the big 10 and ACC get so many seeds?

Because the ACC is 31-1 out of conference.

FWIW, in the PLL draft last night, of 32 players selected (4 rounds - 8 teams), there were 14 from ACC and 7 from B1G.  None from AE.  TD Ierlan was 4th overall pick.

So, UA lost to Syracuse by a few goals and they absolutely trashed other schools in the ACC AND they got trashed by other schools.   No league should get 3 or 4 tams in the tourney!

Wonder why Tehoka was not drafted? Was he NOT eligible?? I wonder if he plans on playing another year of college LAX somewhere?? Any insight or thoughts on this; greatly appreciated.

I understand that many on this forum will not agree, but, the reasoning seems sound to me:

According to a IL pre-draft article, they predicted him going in the 4th round I believe to the Chaos saying in the right offense he would thrive.

I'm sure they use the same metric as for the basketball tournament: any power conference team with a .500 record gets in, any other conference can suck it.

Or would you rather go back to 1970, where only conference champions get in the tournament, and a lot of teams decide to be independent.

NO. There... answered the question after wasting a bunch of time watching the Dane Train go off the rails.

No insights, but my guess is that while Coach Marr would have good things to say about Tehoka to potential GM's and coaches, getting dismissed from the team certainly didn't do him any favors. Why draft a guy where as the superstar player he was still asked to leave the program? and there were other issues prior to his eventual dismissal.

Honestly, I don't think he made the players around him better.
