And if that was to come to pass, then people would be justified in posting a thread, "CUSA is once again a good BBall league" in the "NCAA multi-bid" sense of "good".

I guess there's another tier of "good" that we could point to, the conferences below the NCAA multi-bid conferences which would normally expect to receive NIT at-large bids. I think an appropriate term for that would be, "to be fair, also kind of good", as in, "To be fair, the MAC is also kind of good in the sense that they are better than a number of Division 1 cellar dwellers and can normally expect to receive an at-large NIT bid, as opposed to requiring the regular season's champion NIT autobid to get in".

In that sense, I believe that CUSA is, to be fair, kind of good.
