People keep going on and on about the good ole days of the CAA......which were extremely fun. But, don't kid yourselves on it being some great level of basketball that was so much better than what we see in CUSA. CAA had a couple awesome teams (GM in 2006 and 2011), but its not like the CAA was the powerhouse people want to remember it as.

They had 2 seasons with 5 top 100 teams in the conference...which is what CUSA did this year.

I appreciate you providing that data. But, you can't argue with emotions. People remember and are emotionally attached to a fond memory of once was.

Thats really the bottom line...... Son, you should have seen Hank Aaron back in the day. Barry Bonds couldn't hold his jockstrap!
