CUSA is far closer to the IVY than they are the AAC.
CUSA does have a number of programs that used to be names to conjure with--UTEP, UAB, Western Kentucky, Old Dominion, UNCC. That and a $5 gift card will get you a cup of coffee, but it's more than a dozen other one-bid leagues can say.
They're not comparable to the AAC, but they have past glory that most of the other one-bid leagues don't.
And the Ivy has 5 teams who have been to a sweet 16 and 3 final 4 teams.
CUSA isn't even comparable to the A10 historically. CUSA with 4 teams making elite 8 to 11 for the A10. Every single A10 team has made the sweet 16.
I forgot that the A-10 is a one-bid league this year. BCS > AAC, A-10 > MWC, WCC > everyone else, with CUSA and MVC a little ahead of the rest. (Ivy is a special case, has more athletic potential than anyone if they choose to care again)
It might not be. St. Bonaventure has moved into a lot of projected brackets as a second team from the a-10.
yeah but they might need to win out to get in.
