Just an update ... I just saw a new post by the NIVC that it will be a 32-team field this year, not a 64-field team.

So, 8 first/second round hosts for 4 teams each. Final round at one of the 2 teams playing. Not sure about third/semifinal rounds.
With Dayton having a 53 RPI, I'd think they could be one of the host schools. But, who knows.
