    Johnson, who has worked at the NCAA for 20 years, handling statistics for men's basketball and aiding the NCAA Tournament selection committee, thinks it was sometime in the last 10-15 years.

    "When I first got here, there wasn't a thing called 'mid-majors,' but then I started hearing the term and it took me a while to find out what it meant," Johnson said. "... I don't know the origin of it."


    So, what does it mean? Well, Johnson, like the rest of us, still isn't so sure.

    Interesting article, I agree with Andy Katz for the most part... it's good to see the uprising of smaller schools continue to get stronger and gain more attention. Worth a read.
