New 2017 Postseason Tournament

[Figgie123]

A second post-season volleyball tournament will begin this year. The National Invitational Volleyball Championship will give each of the 32 conferences an automatic bid based on best conference record on teams that didn't make the NCAA. Then they will take the best remaining 32 teams in the RPI that aren't in NCAA or one of the automatic 32 based on record. All games on campus sites, and bracket will be announced after the NCAA announces theirs.

Based on how things are going in the A10, whomever of VCU/UD doesn't get into NCAA will get in this one. Saint Louis being at 152 seems to be too far out to get one of the other 32 spots.
