Re: Competing at the highest level

[Zahid H. Siddiqi]

C-USA men's basketball was an anomoly, in my opinion.  During UC's tenure, there were schools at the bottom that were below mid-majors, never making the postseason.  Conversely, there were schools such as UC, Loserville, Marquette and Memphis that were above mid-majors.  I submit Louisville and Marquette, each reaching the Final Four of the NCAA in the year it won the outright regular season conference championship, as examples.  Overall, the conference was a mid-major.  
   
  In football, C-USA was a mid-major in my opinion.  And remains so today.

  I would agree with you if we were just talking about basketball, but the other sports showed that we were a mid major. Even with those teams we were the 7th best conference. Someone has to be the best mid-major and it was CUSA. 

Also, our facilities were mid major standard at the time.

Absolutely CUSA was NOT a mid-major when UC was a member. Surely the bottom
feeders of the conference drug the conference down and shot the conference
RPI to hell - but with UC, Memphis, Louisville, and Marquette - a mid-major?
I don't think so.
