[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1618669, member: 517079"] There's a big difference between reacting after 5 years and reacting after 20. That's, at minimum, 1/3 of what most would categorize as modern college basketball (I'd say closer to 1/2). Based on the evidence, there's little to suggest that St. Mary's will overtake the Zags -- they become a rising program under Monson, so you can't [I]solely[/I] point to Few as their raison d'etre. So, with that in mind, why should Gonzaga not be afforded the advantages of affiliation with a larger conference just b/c of where they stood when most conferences were formed many, many years ago? Seems to be the antithesis of a meritocracy, no? [/QUOTE]
