If I'm not mistaken, those schools have always had strong basketball programs. We need them now more than ever. CUSA's bottom programs need to at least become average.

I believe that ODU has tied for 3rd each of the past two seasons. The year before that they were among the last 4 out for an at large choice to the NCAA Tournament, ended up in the NIT, and made it to the NIT Final 4. We too expect them to do better than that, but I don't believe they have hurt the conference in basketball.

Agree. I'm frustrated because we have some good basketball schools, but we never reach our potential. Very disappointing because basketball is a sport where we should be doing much better. And what's with our tournament? It's so poorly attended. We should implement of a new model or just not have one.
