Fox Sports Radio Host/CUSE Alum said non P5's "Don't belong in NCAA March Madness"
This Syracuse Alum on Fox Sports Radio, Jason Smith said on his show last night that non P5 teams (Mid Majors) do NOT belong in the NCAA Tournament (not even as a 16th seed) but would welcome them in to the NCAA owned NIT.

Guess since 5 P5 teams that went 8-10 all got NCAA invites, guess he would let 5-14 or 4-14 P5 teams get NCAA invites since they had good losses.

P5 Media like this can go to HECK

When a fellow Syracuse Alum responded to him saying how he was embarrassed that a 'Cuse Alum could think that shallow, Jason Smith responded:

I love the mid-majors. But mid-majors shouldn't be allowed in NCAA Tournament. Not because they can't play w/Power 5 teams - obviously they can. But playing a mid-major schedule and getting a puncher's chance to beat a Power 5 isn't fair.

See...a MTSU or a St Mary's won't have as many "good losses" as say an 0-18 Pitt team had in conf play.

As predicted, this P5 Elitism has begun to transfer over from football to basketball....as those P5 puppets in the media are just doing the dirty work for the P5 elites.

That's why I linked the Mark Adams response above as he is an AAC basketball analyst

Well the AAC and the Big East aren't mid-major. He shouldn't use the P5 terminology.

I am starting to see more of this. There is a growing divide in attitude between the so-called major conferences and the rest. I think the thing that has changed the most is that a few of the schools that have been shut out are finally speaking up (UCF) and the P5 is in fight or flight mode.

I don’t understand why fox/cbs/nbc pundits do this. I can understand that ESPN has financial incentive with all their p5 contracts. But fox’s biggest contest is with the Big East no? Supporting the p5 only strengthens ESPN which hurts all the competitors, which ESPN left in the dust a long time ago.

If I’m one of these tv execs I’m pushing he p6 or anti-p5 narrative, look at all the publicity UCf is getting.

It's because the sports media, like all media, is one big clique who use peer pressure to get everyone to repeat the same line over and over...

If this idiot was Hurley's agent, DH would be at Pitt instead of UConn.

Odd comments to make in the same year a 1 seed got drilled by a 16. If you are SO amazing as a P5 you should not be getting beat by the 68th best team in the nation. Not only did UVA lose, they got hammered. They were the overall #1 seed.

Parity scares the Cartel, especially given the Cartel's money/resource advantages.

They weren't the 68th best team in the nation .. they were the 68th team to get in ... They were worse than the 68th best team, actually 168 per KenPom (188 pre-tourney)

Good point. People that have money and power are usually the last to give it up willingly.

If that ever occurred, the tournaments ratings would tank. The first weekend of the tourney is all about the mids .

Am I the only one that agrees that these teams should be able to under-perform their way into the playoffs each year?
