The selections for the NCAA championships are done solely by the NCAA women's rowing committee. In Division I, that is a seven person committee with four athletic administrators, including chair Marshall Foley of the MAAC, and three rowing coaches. The CRCA coaches poll is entirely separate and doesn't have any official tie in to the selection process. Hopefully the coaches poll continues to be of interest to many and helps to spread awareness of the sport, including being published in USA Today.
