No doubt about it, the conference is a mediocre conference. I'm willing to bet that it's because the majority of the schools are in cold weather states. Whataya gonna do. When it comes to college hockey, players are more than willing to show loyalty to their state's respective college teams, but NCAA basketball is entirely different altogether.
Like I said in the NBA thread, I GAURANTEE $$$ are being paid to the players .:2 cents:
I think this goes for basketball in general. Players play where they want to play. Loyalty isn't really a factor. Props to Durant and most likely Rose for sticking with the team that drafted them.
