Would You Trade CAA Quality For Popularity?

[EvanJ]

Which of these would you rather the CAA have in Men's Basketball?

Quality Option: What the CAA has now
12th in the Conference RPI
Average RPI rank of 168.1 (the average for all teams is 176th)
Average home attendance of 2,396 (that's what the CAA has)
No TV contract

Popularity Option: A hypothetical
16th in the Conference RPI
Average RPI of rank of 197.8, which is what the Southern Conference in 16th has, and that's 29.7 worse than the CAA
Average home attendance of 3,200 (an increase of a little over a third, I didn't make it one-third because I wanted it to be a multiple of 100)
A regional TV contract with each team averaging 4 games live on all of NBC Sports regional networks on the east coast, SNY, and on TV in the Carolinas but I don't know what channels they have

Popularity option more visibility for the schools better attendance. And probably easier to recruit

Agreed. Both conferences getting only one bid. I’d like to have TV games and better crowds.
