The National Junior College Athletic Association would like a word...

The proper Marquette grade is AB.

agreed.  I feel like folks are stuck on Dayton being a 'mid major'. I don't see Dayton as that, even if most of their conference mates are mid majors. Is Butler a mid major over conferenced in the BE?  Was Creighton a mid that has elevated by way of the BE out of mid-major status? I think HH with programs such as Dayton, VCU, even Drake, are a lot more interest catching than one-offs vs the likes of Ark Pine Bluff, Stonehill etc. Heck, since we'll inevitably play some mids in the NC, I'd toss Green Bay/ Gottlieb a bone and sign a 3 yr deal...2 at FF and 1 at Resch, and Doug talks MU on his national FOX radio show everyday for a week preceding the game!

I'm sure it doesn't need to be said, but I'm glad you're not in charge of scheduling.

You should care who Dayton has to deal with. It hampers their NET rating, which in turn hampers ours. And that matters for selection and seeding.

And we will see about Gottleib. So far looks over his head but who knows.

if Dayton has a strong season...which they will, our loss at their place does not hurt us. On the other hand, I'd agree with you if you said there was nothing to gain by Alabama traveling to Grand Forks to play North Dakota...winning by only seven.
