Baller1,

Do not post articles or make comments that in any way connect Wichita State to the term mid-major. Thanks and you have been warned!

Baller1,
You're fine. Cold does not rule SN.

[Baller1]

dear cold,

by definition,Wichita State is in fact a mid-major. They might not play like one, but by definition they are... there, you've been warned

Go away spammer. Take your mid-major and shove it in your mid-major behind. :)

Who's definition?

[ShockerGorilla]

It is interesting that he was only 5"7" when he was a freshman in high school. That explains his style of play. This gives hope to a lot of late-blooming kids.

Look guys, this should be about the story, not about your rage against college basketball definitions... but they are definitions and anyone who doesn't acknowledge that is just in a fantasy land.Does Wichita State player like a mid-major? No, just about all of us can agree on that, they are not just another mid-major program. But that's not what we are arguing we are arguing classifications, and those are concrete.　
Seth Davis:
"A mid-major is defined by conference affiliation, period. If you're not in one of the six BCS conferences, or as we say in basketball, the so-called power conferences, then you are a mid-major"

[SubGod22]

You do realize that the staff as well as guys like Katz refuse to label us as such. It's not just us fans. It's an arbitrary description used by those who want to try and put down others as weaker and unable to compete at a high level.

Stop embracing such crap

[Baller1]

Actually that's not true at all, it does not mean you are inferior. In reality, the term mid-major is nothing more than a classification just like the difference between the Missouri Valley, Horizon, Big East, and Ohio Valley are classifications. Rebelling against the term mid-major would be like rebelling against the term Missouri Valley , just because you're one of the best in the Missouri Valley doesn't mean you're automatically part of the Big Ten, that's not how it works. Being a mid-major simply notes that the school is slightly smaller and may not have the same funding/history as other programs (however there are several exceptions, which I don't need to name)... instead of fighting divisions/classifications you should embrace them, instead of being just another team, Wichita State is instead now is known as one of the best mid-major programs

Thanks for the link. Good article, it's nice to see our guys getting pub.

By the way:

mid

1. being at or near the middle point of: in mid autumn.
2. being or occupying a middle place or position: in the mid nineties of the last century.
Synonyms: intermediate, average, mediocre, unexceptional, so-so (colloquialism)






We're non-BCS.

[C0|dB|00ded]

Spammer1,

You can plead all you want. We are not going to "embrace" the mid-major label. You need to become educated on the issue.

1) We pay our coach a major salary (1.6M)

2) We recruit and sign major players

3) We have major facilities

4) We have major attendance

5) We have a major athletic budget (chartered flights, private jets, etc.)


You are alone on this issue now go away and spam Evansville's message board. They will be glad to embrace the term with you.
