The Mid-Majority

Basketball season is a long, long way off. Most of the hoops news these days isn’t much news at all. A former coach at UK sued UK and now they’re suing him back. Instead of coving this story, we’re going to try to get you basketball fans pumped (instead of disheartened via that last story) by familiarizing you with a new blog we hope to feature in the coming basketball season. It’s called the Mid-Majority. Check it out.

Here at the NCAA Blog, we try to do our best to talk about the mid-majors just as much as the high-majors. Even though they have higher athletic budgets and even though they get most of the national media attention, high-majors account for only about 20% of the NCAA basketball teams out there. The Mid-Majority seeks out the stories from this somewhat silent majority of college basketball teams and their fans.

Last year was a tough time for college basketball little guys. We covered this phenomena leading up to and on into the 2009 Tournament. If you want a good introduction to the Mid-Majority, you should read this blog post, “The Waiting Room for the Exit Interview.”
