Discrimination against smaller schools

In the "Candid Coaches" feature on the CBS site, they just did a poll of coaches on the question, "What is your No. 1 issue with the selection process?" Fully 32% said mid-major discrimination, far ahead of second place. Here are a couple of quotes that stood out:

"Scheduling is incredibly different for us. We are trying to play anyone and everyone, and we can't get any games. We have been told no by essentially every high-major in the country with the exception of the ones we are playing. Makes it very difficult for a school like us to get an at-large bid."

"As a mid-major assistant my biggest gripe is mid-major leagues getting one bid. They probably have to find a way to get regular-season champions into the NCAA Tournament."
