RE: Decline of Mid-Major At-Large Tournament Appearances
The A10 continues to do quite well with 3 teams in this year, which is back down to it's average. The thing with the A10, there are always a number of solid team and depending on the year if they make the NCAA, NIT or CBI.
This is focused on NCAA Credit since teams keep 75% of credits earn.

2010: 5 (Xavier 3, Temple 1, Rich. 1)

What is bad by the NCAA Committee is they put mid-majors against mid-majors so they are knocked down early and protect the P5.
