   left out in the cold when the top basketball players gravitate toward the   
   superconferences as well -    
   especially if Adam Silver finally gives in and allows the NBA to draft players   
   directly out of high school again, so none of the "minor" schools can try to   
   become some sort of magnet for one-and-dones.   
      
   This also has merit.  I think the doctrine of unintended consequences   
   will prevail.
