Short answer: last NC was 1984. So, no. But, BYU has been decent. Nobody paid

I am not trying to wish anything away. Gonzaga success is largely Mark Few.

This is a legit concern. Gonzaga was a nobody before Few arrived.

It complicates travel. And what about all of their other sports?

All of their other sports do not matter. Probably just using us for leverage,

You believe they will be less prepared for the NCAA Tournament if in the Big 12?
