Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 2604455, member: 212"] "Parity" may not be the right word. Maybe the term should address the opening of horizons for the former also-rans of a niche sport. Let's look at the historical record: The NCAA tourney began in the 70's, and 4 schools won the championship that first decade--Cornell, UMd, UVa, and Hopkins. In rhe 80's, two new winners--UNC and SU. In the 90's, only 1--Princeton. In the 00's--none, not a single solitary new champion. In the 10's, [B]4-- [/B]Duke, Loyola, Denver, and Yale (and still a year to go). Something is happening. How would you describe it? [/QUOTE]
