Since 2009 only 4 schools have played in the championship game. Only 3 schools have won a championship in the last 11 years. Those same 3 teams have won 16 of the last 19 championships.
There are 3 "Big Time" programs
Doesn't mean there aren't other good programs and great schools. But MD, NW and UNC stand above everyone else without question.
I think there is a difference between being a "bigtime program" and national champion. There are tons of bigtime football and basketball programs for instance that have not won the national championship. I think it diminishes what these players are accomplishing in going to a Duke or ND etc when u say those aren't bigtime programs. They r IMHO.
