RE: The Sporting News: P5 Divide Now evident in hoops
(02-14-2018 06:27 PM)Captain Bearcat Wrote: In the last five years the Missouri Valley, A-10, Mountain West, and C-USA lost Xavier, Butler, Creighton, Wichita, Memphis, and Utah. These 6 teams probably averaged 3 bids in most years. Those bids are no longer going to mid-major conferences.
But it's not because the remaining mid-major schools are any further behind. Rather, the remaining mid-majors (with the exception of Gonzaga, Dayton, and a few more) never had the fan support or resources to compete. They just used to get routinely blown out by the Butlers and Creightons who dominated their conference.
Not true. The Missouri Valley and all but a few programs in the Atlantic 10 were very competitive.
