At least the WCC has Gonzaga and SMC. The MWC has nobody even at the level of SMC.
We all know and agree that the MWC was a very good league for about 5 years (BYU's last 2-3 and the first couple years after BYU was gone).
The MWC has 11 schools, and for two straight seasons has produced one NCAA Tournament team -- which team was a double digit seed. The Season before that only Wyoming upsetting SDSU in the MWC title game allowed the MWC to get 2 teams in. More of the same expected this season. It's a double digit auto bid league these days.
I get that you have your opinions about going to a G5 for football. The fact that you also would like to go to the MWC for basketball might make you the biggest MWC fan on the board.
