Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4103844, member: 1023"] The problem, of course, is you can’t bring in too many mid-majors and still be considered a Major. The NOOB has already brought in Xavier, Butler, Creighton in recent years, plus it has Providence and Seton Hall who basically scream mid-major, and DePaul who screams low D1. At some point you are what your membership says you are. Does anybody actually believe that Providence world win the A10 on a regular basis? Of course not. Gonzaga makes zero sense. Great team but be reasonable. Temple has tradition, it’s in the footprint, it’s in a major recruiting area. And honestly, Temple has a very different fan base from Nova. VU is white suburban upper middle class. Temple fans are more urban, African-American and working class. More John Chaney while Villanova’s coach is a perfect representative of their fans. [/QUOTE]
