To address the mid major issue, I viewed it as the schools in ConUSA are larger than schools in the OVC or the Valley, but I understand, that, on a yearly basis, other than Memphis, they haven't really stood out,as a conference, in comparison.
Referring to the size of a school is interesting, the Valley has Southern Illinois, Missouri State, and Illinois State that are all larger than 8 of the 12 schools in the C-USA. The OVC is actually quite a bit smaller with their largest school (Eastern Kentucky) having an enrollment of 16K. Some consider the MWC, A-10 and C-USA in the major conference section, but I go to data.
Over the last 10 years here are the conference rankings for the 3 conferences, starting with 2003.
C-USA: 7, 7, 9, 13, 9, 10, 8, 10, 8, 10 = 9.1
MVC: 13, 11, 8, 7, 7, 7, 10, 9, 10, 7 = 8.9
OVC: 21, 22, 22, 26, 27, 29, 23, 20, 22, 25= 23.7
With the last number being the current season.
For this year the Non-BCS rankings are very interesting.
TEAM
6. MWC
7. Missouri Valley
8. A-10
9. PAC-12
10. Conference USA
with the PAC-12 being a BCS conference

Not an alum, my sister and many friends/exclassmates are. MSU is less than 45 mins away, and is followed on the local TV. They also have beat UAB, on the road, and Dayton. They are slated to get a home BracketBuster game, so is Creighton so the 2 won't play each other, and there is talk of that team being Wichita St. That would be a nice matchup.
Being a MVC Buff Wichita St/Murray State would be phenomenal.
