Mid Major and Lower Divisions??? Why must their be segregation among college basketball programs? Isn't enough we have ruin college football with this type of classifications amongst Div I programs?
Since when is the WCC better than the Big West (Other than the Zags).
I am a WCC fan and I dislike breaking it into Major and mid-major and now divisions in Mid Major???? Yikes!!!!
I is bad enough that the NCAA fosters and more than supports the "Majors", Just wait and see when "Majors " start loosing scholorships after payers leave school to play in the pros and do not graduate. You will see the NCAA rules WILL change. If it were Mid-Majors that had the problem the NCAA would banish the school before they will change a rule, witch they already enforce differently for "Majors and Mid-Majors at this time.
Low major!??? WTF is that!?
I hate any sort of separation between the mid-majors and whatever else; the only reason I had two different groups was so it was not one huge list of fourty-plus players.
As a result, I drew the line between the WCC and the Sun Belt/Southern/Big West...that is where I have a separation in my conference rankings, so I carried that over until this.
To be honest, it looks really awkward right now, I might change it to "Conferences No. 7-No.15" or whatever it really is.
I apologize for the tags of the conference groupings.
Old Dominion gaurds Brandon Johnson and/or Brian Henderson need to be on this list.
Nobody from Old Dominion needs to be on that list. You shouldn't make that list averaging 8 ppg
These are division one teams, not high, mid, low or anything else.
