Wichita State Mid-Major?

I am really curious about everyones mentality on this subject as it relates to the Valley. We have seen Valley coaches regard WSU as high-major and several mid-major hoops sites refuse to list WSU as such. So to the rest of MVCFans, is WSU a high major, or just a successful mid major that will soon have struggles? Is WSU just a mid major with a high major coach, or will this success be long lasting, far beyond the next 15 years with HCGM?

The only option in the poll is "no".

Why don't you just ask "Honey, do I look fat in this dress?" You know what you want to hear. "No sweetie , you look like Twiggie in that tent."

You play in a mid major league against mid major teams. If you were Creighton you would have a different label. It is up to the conference to raise the label.

So Gonzaga is a mid-major and TCU is a major.

WSU right now is about as mid-major as Memphis under Cal, DePaul under Meyer, and UNLV under Tark.

Correct. This isn't a difficult concept to grasp.

I still considered Butler a 'mid major' during / after their amazing two year period.
