NCAA Nonsense

Someone help me out to understand this. Yesterday, I noticed that St. Thomas statistical data was missing from the Summit League conference rankings on the NCAA web site. I tweeted the NCAA to find out why and here is what they said:
St. Thomas is still in the transitional period. They won't be a full member of Division I until the 2025-26 season and that is when they will be eligible to be in the national statistical rankings.
That is crazy. A team has to be "eligible" to be part of the rankings for 3pt Field Goal Percentage, Rebounds, ...
Totally illogical. That same data is available on the same NCAA site by clicking on the boxscore links for games.
The ranking stats are nothing more than a roll-up of all of the boxscore data.
Come on, man. Just put a freakin asterisk next to their team name wherever it appears to indicate the transitional period and show us the damn numbers.
Case closed.
