I was shocked when Seth Davis said Northern Iowa is a very mediocre shooting team... and he gets paid to make comments like that.. not as bad as Vern I guess.
Re 'Major League', "I say, up yours, Seth Davis!!"
UNI kicked the poobahs at the NCAA and CBS in the cajones with their blitzkreig of the mighty J-Hawks. Redemption for the bogus 9 seed from the NCAA who hoped would wipe out a top 25 MVC team in the second round. Great for the Valley! Run the table UNI....
The MVC out to take out TV advertising on CBS during the next round of the NCAA's when UNI plays listing the Valley school's NCAA Tourney successes in the past 10 years by UNI, Creighton, Bradley, Southern Illinois, Wichita State. Aim it at high school players as a recruiting tool for the Valley....throw in athletic highlights from various former and current Valley players, with references to Valley players in the NBA, POB, Korver, etc. and get some EXPOSURE!! Use some of UNI's NCAA payout and other Valley Teams NIT payouts to help pay for the ads!!
Let's hope UNI can't cash in on their NCAA sweet 16 run with a slew of good recruits that will have them on top in the MVC out into the future.
Mid majors should propose to the NCAA mandatory home and home scheduling of mid majors by BCS and Big East teams if they want to qualify for at large bids in the tourney in the future! Need to strike while public sentiment is high for mid majors having success in the tourney and sympathy for getting shafted by the 4,5,6,7,8 place teams in the BCS conferences.
