Scrapper1, I don't know what is wrong with BZ today, but he is refusing to see anything other than his own opinion.
I think there are some valid points in this thread, but I don't think it is possible to say one way or the other that one group dislikes the other.
Rut, you know I've lived in various locations and I find your comments surprising. I talked with one of my partners (he currently works for the future NCAA supervisor and lives in Miss.) on Monday and another partner (he used to live in the St. Louis area) on Thursday about this - not the first times this discussion has come up. The perception by many, with some actual examples, is the Midwest is the easiest place to break into D1 in the country. Your post paints an opposite picture. I'm not saying you are wrong, but I do know guys who've lived in that region and one who moved there and advanced quickly.
