Not sure one good season in the conference validates the invite as a good move. Jury is still out.
I think the infrastructure might indicate there is some investment in the overall programming.
Yeah, some programs do a little or enough to warrant consideration, get to somewhere they'd rather be, and then take up space. NKU seemed to lock onto Horizon and did what it must to get there. It's a public school in a good basketball region...it definitely fits with the conference. I think it's more...is the Horizon all that much to talk about anymore?
There are a couple of programs out there I'm watching as potential climbers. NKU and FGCU stick out in the east. I wonder if UC-Davis outgrows Big West.
