The one caveat would be if NMSU could win a tournament game. Would really help a lot of schools budgets.

GCU has never won a regular season title in basketball or the WAC post-season tournament. They should win first before they are considered a dominant team. CSUB has won both and UVU won a regular season title. But I think we can see GCU coming and that is a good thing. They will force the other teams to raise their game. The WAC needs to become a multi-bid conference.

I didn't say GCU was dominant. Finishing 2nd isn't dominant. The odds are like 85% chance we see GCU-NMSU again in the final. UVU has about 10% chance to represent and the rest of the teams combined have 5%. That's not a competitive league.

I see the opposite effect where teams at the bottom end give up and slash athletic budgets or move to a cheaper conference or d2. Can't compete with a publicly listed team.

I'll put a casual $10 Venmo bet with you getting a 15% extra ($11.50) if you win that NMSU/GCU ISN'T in the Finals. 100% jumping to conclusions man.
