Downsizing still lurking out there

One of the major website gurus posted the other day about his "fixes" to cure what ails college basketball. One of them was to drastically reduce the number of D1 schools. Who knows if we would make the cut. If that happened, we would become as irrelevant as Arkansas Tech or Harding. It would take us off the Big Stage and relegate us to the role of understudies.

I agree that it is a little silly to have the SWAC teams of the world competing directly against the Dukes and Kansases of the world, but this is one of those cases where I fear the cure might be worse (for us) than the disease. Of course, the big money schools rule the roost, and they are going to do whatever is good for them.
