All For None: Playoff Glass Slipper Still Doesn't Fit for SFC (NY) and W&M

After conference tournament championship game defeats in the CAA and Northeast, the NCAA playoffs remained little more than "Never Never Land" for William & Mary and St. Francis NY, respectively, plus the following three other schools never to participate in the national championship tournament despite being designated as major colleges since the late 1940s (number of coaches during that span in parentheses):

School (# of Coaches) Best Season
Army (17) 22-6 in 1969-70
The Citadel (13) 20-7 in 1978-79
Northwestern (13) 20-14 in 2009-10 and 2010-11
St. Francis NY (11) 23-5 in 1953-54
William & Mary (13) 24-10 in 1948-49
