Glad to see UConn included.

UAPB and Mississippi Valley State from the SWAC. Isn't Mississippi Valley State the coaching job the Pine Bluff coach was interviewing for? When things are so bad that a team has to play their whole OC schedule taking ass whippings from the big boys in order to make enough money to support the football program, then they need to drop sports altogether. The SWAC is getting to be a joke, as in the whore of the week for the big boys to pad their OC records. And, the Sun Belt isn't far behind, as they too become the whore of the week for a big pay check.

I don't support playing any whore games, but I do know I wouldn't spend one dime supporting Pine Bluff, or any program that operates like Pine Bluff does.

In the coming years, the base for good academic standing will not be as it stands now at 900, but at 930.

If that were the case this year? It wouldn't be 10 schools banned from the 2013 postseason, the number would be well over 60, or nearly one-fifth of D-I hoops. (The NCAA sometimes treats Historical Black Colleges and Universities with a different set of guidelines, given the HBCUs economical or pragmatic limitions in certain academic areas for bolstering students' chances at meeting one criterion or another. So it's not possible to definitely state how many schools would unquestionably be ineligible this year if the floor were 930. For example, schools such as Coppin State and North Carolina Central scored under 900 but are not banned from the postseason next year.)

Oklahoma State, Providence, Oregon, Auburn, Arkansas and LSU would be the BCS conference programs unable to play in their conference tournaments as well as the NCAAs next March.
