In fact the simple fact that George mason and Duquesne would even be under consideration(if true), proves the collective IQ of this group is seriously lacking. They should let me pick the teams. At least then the conference would get respect.

First, the entire idea of labeling a conference "mid-major" because of their bottom tier is silly. But I have to admit, this is the first I have heard someone say that if they don't pick Creighton they are "idiots." Creighton has done nothing of significance in the NCAA tournament. Their last Sweet 16 was in 1974. And outside of the recent McDermott buzz, really hasn't moved the college basketball needle at all. Not sure how having them puts us in some sort of favorable light, while George Mason, SLU and Dayton wouldn't.
