I agree the Zags are "bona-fide"....but 21 NCAA tourney wins since the turn of the century is a bit more than a blip for Butler on the chart. Xavier and Butler are part of the Big Boy club...by any metric the last 15 years. The Zags are an enigma of their own. The Shockers are likely on their way to the AAC. UD needs an upgrade in conference land. We have everything else.
