That link classifies "small colleges" as NCAA D-II-III NAIA. Ohio wouldn't be included.
Another miss from Alan. Is that miss #999 or did he reach 1,000?
I think what confused Alan was that Akron, as I recall. was in Div-2 before they joined the MAC. Ohio never was in that division.
Nothing confused me Carl. Watch and listen to the Earl the Pearl video all the way through. At the end, it clearly says the "small college" hall of fame. I listened to these games on the radio on WAKR, 15990, in Akron back int the 60s when Akron was very good and it was referred to as the small college tournament. Akron had a player by the name of Don Williams who was the original Antio Gates. He played basketball at Akron and was drafted by the Browns.
