They had 11 NCAAT appearances in a 17 year period in the HL/A10, that was what got them in.
If we keep producing NCAAT appearances at a good rate, we will eventually get invited to a better conference.
It seems that some of these conferences do not want to leave any stone unturned in terms of adding teams that earn NCAAT appearances and make money and that will help a conference's bottom line.
It seems that both the AAC and BE are interested in us if we keep winning. But, we have to keep winning. A drop off is going to hurt our profile.
Gonzaga has run off 20 straight NCAAT appearances, and 21 appearances in 24 years, but they are still stuck in the WCC, where each conference member gets an equal slice of the pie. Just imagine how p*ssed off Gonzaga is. At least the A10 lets a team keep 75% of the team's own earnings.
Yes, it will try not to pollute this thread any further with 15/15 talk. I just could not resist!
