coincidentally schools removed from my 2022 grad's list last year.
Bowdoin, Pomona-Pitzer, Claremont-Mudd, Occidental, Whittier, Cal Tech
Cal Tech & MIT
good catch TBPT
Other NESCAC schools “played” but Middlebury (for example) played 8 games with 15 players on roster. They played Amherst, Williams and cant recall for 2 games each. Zero winter sports for those schools.
NCAA-D1
NCAA-D2

This list is history. Nobody has pulled out of the 2022 season.
I’m not sure if the original poster’s intent, but this list can be used for two things that I can think of: Who has a lot of players with TWO years of additional eligibility. (Helpful to note which schools have graduate programs in this case) and which schools are more likely to shut down sports. (I really hope Covid was a once in a lifetime phenomenon but it might give some parents pause-not debating validity or not)
My intent / initial thought was actually this: each of these schools is now starting fall ball with a bunch of players who potentially have not been on the field in 2 years, especially in HA D3 world. Their coaches are now trying to figure out what kind of hand they've been dealt and have to play.

NYIT is shut down until 2023.
Currently 2 JUCOs waiting until fall of 2022 to come back
Cuyahoga CC

Players at these schools could (and some did) play in summer leagues.

That is awesome - they should close the school
Place bets on 2022, anyone?

Thanks for the correction. A D2 in Long Island and 2 JUCOs in OH.
CCC was 12-43 in 2019. NYIT was 37-16 in 2019 and was previously Independent (no conference) for a few years. Sinclair was 51-10 in 2019 but the program has only been in existence for 3 years before Covid cancelled 2019 season. I'm not sure if these are great rock solid programs to use as exception examples. Possibly there are other reasons leading to this decision.

NYIT was D1 Independent.
Dropped to D2 in 2018.
Played in East Coast Conference.
Would have the ability to create future rivalry with
Adelphi
Sinclair has been successful.
In 2021, they had 38 players at 4 yr schools.
Since 2017, W/L 153-41-0
Insights still pending final review.

I remember seeing this article last year
https://www.audacy.com/wfan/ar...r-at-least-two-years
2020 Budget was 5m
2019 - was 5.8m
10 yr baseball budget
Here is Sinclair's baseball financial for the last 10 year.
CUNY Athletic Conference likewise did not have any baseball in 2021
Anybody familiar with these schools and their recruiting know whether not playing has impacted these school's ability to attract the players they normally do?

From what I've heard it's irrelevant at worst for the HA schools.
At best, I think they'll have a lot of talent. TBH, if my kid had returned as originally planned for a post-grad 5th year, even though he was a 3 year starter, I'd be very worried that a young buck who had been playing non-stop through the pandemic might take his position.

For Haverford, Swarthmore, and NYU, such is definitely the case. People want to go there regardless.

Those 15 players on Midd last season were predominantly freshman. Most soph's and juniors took spring semester off, and most all played in summer leagues the past summer.

Did your son play summer ball? Don’t you think as a 22/23yo he would have a tremendous physical advantage over an 18/19yo? Wouldn’t he have a tremendous maturity advantage?
