Here is ESPN's ranking of programs (as ranked by in the country) since 1985. I would have loved if they went by the last 10 years--WU would have been somewhere in the top 20-40 using their criteria. Some BSC programs were not included as they haven't been playing since 1985.

Big South
79. Winthrop
T-168. Radford
T-183. UNC-Asheville
T-196. Coastal Carolina
T-203. Liberty
T-241. Charleston Southern
T-294. Virginia Military Institute

For Winthrop or Radford to be that high it would have to be.

• The school with the most conference tournament titles to not appear in the Top 50 is Winthrop at No. 79. The Eagles have won nine Big South titles

Yeah, the Big South continually dragging around our ankles.

But it is nice to know that they must consider us a top 20-40 program in recent years since before Marshall certainly didn't help the ranking.
