LSU called "mid major" on sporting news

It isn't much but Sporting News did have a little section on LSU basketball calling the Tigers "mid major" while having a picture of Thornton on the front page.

LSU. The Tigers have two small problems adding up to one big one. Their light non-conference schedule and the dearth of elite teams in the SEC -- our highest-seeded team was a No. 8, Florida -- gives LSU the profile of an excellent mid-major.

Like an idiot I accidentally hit ENTER before I finished the subject line. This is why I don't post.

I don't think the author quite grasps the concept of 'mid major' as it pertains to college basketball.

No. LSU's resume (i.e. profile) resembles that of a mid-major.

He's saying their resume appears similar to that of a mid-major.

In basketball, we are a mid major.

No, if you read the article, he's classifying LSU as a mid-major.
He writes: "...what to do with the best mid-majors:..."
Then he goes on to list Davidson, Siena, St. Mary's and LSU, with a discussion of each.

Incorrect, LSU is not considered a mid-major in any sport.

No. We aren't. SEC = major, no matter how up or down the conference is.

Then, when you read the excerpt, it's clear he included us because we have a resume comparable to a mid major, not because he actually thinks we are one.
