The change was made around 2012 to remove the varsity game requirement (40 for Div 2 and 75 for Div 1). I thought the previous policy was sound. I understand why others did not but to me, that was chapter issues that needed to be dealt with directly there and not via a state-wide change. To those that disagree -- no need to argue; its a Ford/Chevy (actually, I'm a Japanese-maker guy) thing. Nothing wrong with either POV.
I don't think we have a lot of DIIs that don't belong there, so the issue is largely moot.
