Finally got around to listening into the podcast. "Death of the Mid-major" seems true. The only mid-major that is more than a one bid league is the A-10, and that's probably only because of the down year this year. While not every year, I think C-USA has 2-3 teams that are good enough to be considered tournament teams. I'm not naive enough to think they'll get more than one team, but MTSU, WKU, ODU are good enough. Marshall may be as well. even Marshall.

That said, there are several mid-major leagues that, if a mid-pack money league team came to their barn, would win 60+ percent of the time. I'd say the last B1G team would lose at Iona, or at UB, or MTSU/WKU, etc.

Some interesting numbers from a Mark Adams (who calls ESPN games for the AAC) on Twitter - I haven't verified but his data comes from here:

@EnthusiAdams Quadrant 1: Home vs 1-30; Neutral vs 1-50; Away at 1-75
Out of 962 games played non conference by top six spending conferences, played only 107 true road games (77 vs other top $$$ opponents & only 30 vs #DOMOREWITHLESS teams). How on earth can you access enough Quadrant 1 games?

Circles back around to the NCAA statement about emphasizing road/neutral games, and my opinion of "I'll believe it when I see it on Selection Sunday".
