SDSU has had a respectable team for several years. FAU won more games this year than any other college team. Their conference, Conference USA was well represented this year with FAU in the Final Four, N.Texas beating UAB for the NIT Championship and Charlotte winning the CBI. Not a bad resume. Did these teams get a boost from the portal and NIL money, my guess is most certainly. Further more, Kansas St. was picked to finish last in the Big 12, ended up an Elite Eight team, thanks to the portal. No way Miami makes it to the Championship game without the portal and NIL money
