I was in Borders a couple of days ago and I found the SportingNews college basketball preview issue. I had to buy it and they have an interesting view on conference. The divisions between the High Major, Mid-Major, and Low Major were surprising to me. Here is how they perceive the conferences. All conferences affiliations are in alphabetical order.

2) Atlantic 10
3) Big East
4) Big Ten
5) Big 12
6) Conference USA
7) Mid-American
8) Missouri Valley
9) Moutain West
10) Pac-10
11) SEC
12) WAC
Mid-Majors (6)
1) Big West
2) Colonial
3) Horizon League
4) Southern
5) Sun Belt
6) West Coast
Low-Majors (14)
1) America East
2) Atlantic Sun
3) Big Sky
4) Big South
5) Ivy
6) Metro Atlantic xeekx
7) MEAC
8) Northeast
9) Ohio Valley
10) Patriot League
11) Southland
12) Summit League
13) SWAC
14) Independents
Do you agree with their tiers? Discuss. :)
