From the looks of things you left after a FF and most of the other coaches left after having seasons which were in line with their schools history, Im failing to see this sticking around and trying to make things work.

And what I was saying is exactly on point, but Ill say it as clearly as possible --- THE PROBLEM WITH DI IS THE JOB HIRING PROCESS.  FIX THE JOB HIRING PROCESS AND DI MID MAJORS WOULD BECOME MORE COMPETITIVE.

DI Midmajors used to be competitive because of the overflow of DI talent, it was a joke what was available back then. Therefore despite all the advantages and disadvantages we both mentioned, midmajors could compete with little effort (Im sorry but I coached plenty of midmajors with success back then two so I can tell you it was not all that challenging)...However, WIS then made a change to recruit generation and as a result there CLEARLY HAS BECOME AND ISSUE with midmajors competing.  I dont doubt that.  However, the solution which is always the go is: add more recruits.  Thats not a solution, thats undoing the change which I along with many others like.  My solution is premised on the fact that now because the advantages and disadvantages are more prevelant filling midmajor conferences would even things out.  As a result of the hiring process however, it is simply not possible.
