You could look at it that way, or you could look at it as mid major teams becoming more competitive in the past few years, which might lead to more opportunities. If Michigan State can make it to the final 4 as often as they have, I've got to believe mid majors will have more opportunities. Butler's only losing one player (Veasley) so who knows, they could have another shot next year. Really though this was the weakest field ever. College bball should be a lot better next year. I doubt Butler gets this far again. They had a great shot against a less than super opponent. Gave it a hell of a run. Yeah, I'm more hoping that mid majors might continue to have opportunities like this. I don't know that it will happen. I thought it was really fun. Seeing #1 seeds go down is one of my favorite things in the tourney. Not because I want to see the #1's fail, but because I love to see these underdog teams do well.
