non P5 leagues face. It's basketball has been on an excellent upward trajectory, surpassing the MWC in average Net Ranking and other metrics for several years in a row. We were fortunate to have a landing place made up of private, religious schools that included the likes of Gonzaga.

The Big 12 is going to provide an other-worldly basketball experience, and will be really good in most other sports as well.

Both statements are true, neither at the exclusion of the other.
