The term mid major was originally coined to reference to all conferences not in the power five.

Really?  I dont think this is true.

OK--so UConn was a high major, but they are in a now in a mid major conference...so they are a mid major?
They certainly do not stroll through their conference schedule.
But, on Sept 1st (or whenever they are considered to have joined the BE) they will be elevated overnight to high major status?

I'm of the opinion that the AAC is a mid-major conference, others say they are a high major conference. So in my perception, yes, UConn was a high major, now a mid major, and are about to become a high major again. I don't understand why you would think that a team's status couldn't change.

While the term "mid-major" has existed for awhile, it didn't mean much and wasn't used as often as it is now.  For instance, I don't recall anyone labelling Marquette as a "mid-major" when they went to the Final Four as a member of CUSA.

Billy Packer did around that time. Not sure if it was during the run, but definitely around that time. It caused quite a ruckus on the old board.

Ah....

Well that's kinda dumb.  They had four teams in the NCAA tournament and three teams ranked by the end of the year.

Billy Packer - I think everyone celebrated when he retired.

According to Billy wasn't everyone a mid-major except ACC universities.

I believe that mid major was originally any team that was not high major, and high major was based on which conferences sent their champions to what eventually evolved into the "New Year's Six" bowl games; it started as a football term.  BCS kind of muddled things, CFP and basketball only conferences muddled it even more.  Now it's 100% a subjective term, I've been using the definition that TAMU presented for a while now.  You can be mid major and be elite.  UCONN went from high to mid and now back to high major.

Can we get back to focusing on actual transfers, who MU is in on, as opposed to a 10-page pissing match about the difference between high-major and mid-major?

I guess not.

SWARM!

@jakeweingarten: Bowling Green graduate transfer Justin Turner tells @Stockrisers he’s down to six schools: Missouri, Xavier, Marquette, Arkansas, Louisville, Iowa State.

Arguably the nation’s top-available transfer. 19 point per game scorer.

In case you guys missed it, PT on twitter shared an image of the impact bringing in both Carton and Turner would have on our TRank. It would move us up from 78 to 42.

Turner alone would move us from 78 to 56

by that "thinking" Gonzaga and BYU are mid-majors, UNLV back in the day was a mid-major, Cincy is a mid-major.  Conference affiliation is a lazy way to classify. Are GU, UConn or Cincy a lesser program than Rutgers, Washington State, Oregon State, Penn State, etc? No.

Going back to UMass though, they're a far cry from any of the UNLV, Cinci, BYU or Zags

It actually cracks me up.  Comes up a couple of times each year - and I'm always shocked how many people care to state their case!

Griffin is good, but if he wants to play, he’s not going to go to Duke.

Duke has it backwards. You don't sign the more talented brother first.

We were in on him originally. Don’t think he’s a guard tho.

Edit: I suppose he is listed as as guard some places, but he’s 6-7.
