"As was announced on Tuesday Utah Valley will be among seven programs, in the Great West Conference, competing for an automatic bid in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Chicago State, Houston Baptist, NJIT, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley will all enter the 2009-10 campaign with an entirely new outlook.

There are a number of challenges when recruiting players at the mid-major level. Topping that list is the inability to offer a postseason appearance at season

Since Fox College Sports will be televising the championship game and now has a relationship with Sioux Men's basketball, perhaps that played into the autobid. With Utah Valley having lost most of it's experience, USD and then UND will be the favorites. Next year, perhaps the Great West tournament can be in GF (and on Fox College Sports). Regardless, the Fox connection can only help the upward progress and fan interest in UND men's basketbal.
