Oh please. Look at what happened when Butler made the championship game (either year, but especially against Duke). If Wichita were to win the National Championship, college basketball would collapse onto itself.
Wait. Did a person that predicted that Bradley was going to win the Valley next year just say "oh please"? That's rich.
And I'm not sure what your actual point is. Nobody outside of the Valley would care about the Valley if WSU or UNI won a title, just like no one cares about the Big East just because Nova won it. I'd care about Nova though.
Thought it was fairly obvious that my prediction was sarcastic, Although i do expect us to be significantly better next year, but I digress...
No one actually considers the Big East a "mid-major" though, if a team from an actual mid-major conference won the national title, I think it would be huge for that conferece. Also, if I recall, Butler left the Horizon shortly after making the title game, which also obviously hurt the conference pub.
