Re: Qualifying for CMP in the future
Some of the EWCP guys and I were talking about this subject actually.

Personally, I think CMP should go to a Michigan State-like qualifying system - weighted in such a way that an event winner or RCA team would automatically qualify. This would also allow 'good' teams who don't win still qualify, especially if they received two finalist awards or something like that...

In theory, this could lead to an more competitive event overall (Most teams would get in based on performance on the field) and could result in a more competitive season all together. (teams that usually go to the CMP for 'fun' would now have to earn their way in by performing well.)

Just a thought.
