Coaches' Polls question -- football and basketball

[Freelance Hack]

Just curious, why do roughly half of the D I-A football coaches get to vote in their coaches' poll, but less than 10 percent of the D I basketball coaches get to vote in their poll?

Because there are 4,000 D-I basketball programs?

Because USA Today doesn't want to chase down votes from 180 basketball coaches every week.

Because a handful of SID's only want to fillout the poll for their coaches

Because no one gives two poops about the basketball poll
