looks like there's at least one coach who feels the same way about the A10 TV deal...

[AC91]

...as we do! look at this quote from Rick Majerus from the attached article:

""I said coming into the league — and after one season can add with affirmation — the coaches of this league and the players are the equal of any league anywhere. It's just that (college basketball) is so BCS-oriented. For a myriad of reasons, not the least of which is our television contract, we don't get the exposure for people to see that," he said."

I appreciate his comments but let's remember he does have an agenda here. "Don't come to St. Louis, the A-10 is a crap league with below average players!" No, that won't happen.

It will have more credibility after he's no longer the coach there.

true, but in that vain (vein?) it isnt necessarily in his best interest to speak about the crappy A10 TV package...that is not necessarily toeing the party line, and that was what i was trying to get at.

Didn't Majerus trash the A-10 when he first got the St Louis job by hinting he might like to move to the MVC?
