this school in the last 5 years has won 14,11,7,14,18 games. With final KP ratings of 306,330,337,269,256. Their 256 that year in 2012 was their best KP year ever. Sorry but that's not mid-major at all.

Also, his analysis of Bethune Cookman with 3 point shooting is funny. last year they were 31.1% from 3. That's #311 in the country.


Technically, Bethune-Cookman are a mid-major. You have high-end/tier, mid-tier, and lower-tier mid majors. Bethune-Cookman probably falls in line with the lower-tier mid major.


Aren't they just called low-majors?

Obviously there's no official definition, but I always looked at it as:

High-major: P6 Conference teams
Mid-major: Schools from non-P6 conferences that regularly put multiple teams in the tournament
Low-major: Schools from regular 1 bid leagues

Obviously this isn't really a fair distinction (as fans of Xavier, Butler and Creighton can attest to from years past) as schools like Gonzaga and UConn can clearly compete at a high-major level despite their conference affiliation, but it seems the simplest way to differentiate.

Just my opinion but midmajor usually denotes non-P6 teams from leagues like A-10, MWC, MVC, WCC and American. All other leagues are low major.

I hate agreeing with stever on something, but Bethune-Cookman is definitely a low-major. No question. MEAC is a one-bid league, and it will be for the foreseeable future.

I believe, for the most part, everyone had agreed Bethune-Cookman was a low-major.

The season starts in under an hour.

A real barn-burner over on CUSA.TV: Middle Tennessee vs. Miiligan.

Anyone have an idea of how I could watch the SHU-FDU game tonight? As I live in an area where I don't get any of the above channels and as a result also can't access an FSGO feed. Extremely frustrating...

You could sign up for a free week of Playstation Vue.
