When was TAMPA considered in the MIDWEST

[BULLfreak]

I was on NCAA.org and looked up USF and they have tampa in a MID West Region of the US :WTF

I love how "Midwest" is right next to "Big East" and "FL"

There are others that make no sense; for instance, UNCG in Greensboro is the South, yet NC A&T, right across town, is in the East. Go south to Charlotte and you're in the Midwest. I would have said it was conference-related (even though the Big East is *gasp* in the East!) but it appears most of the rest of our conference is coded properly.

Interestingly enough, Denver's in the South.

Umm... would that be something they just use for classifying regions for the tournament?  I mean, you've got three regions just for the North Carolina teams...

Also remember that we were in CUSA before and that has a bunch of Midwest teams, so they probably tossed us in with our conference-mates.

They probably need to reorganize/realign those with all the conference restructuring.

It may have just been a simple mistake of transposing regions with the one right below us ....

University of South Florida Tampa  FL  33620  Midwest  Big East Conference  

Southeast Missouri State University Cape Girardeau  MO  63701-4799  South  Ohio Valley Conference

Tampa is considered Midwest when Tallahassee is considered West?? ;D ;D

Just kidding.  This makes no sense.

MidWest in the Big East Conference.  This makes perfect sense when you consider all of the BE teams to the South and East of us.   :-X

how ncaa gets schools to fall in line is better than magic
