Start by stopping with the framework of football thinking.
There are no 'P5' and 'mid-majors'; there are programs that are willing to dedicate resources to basketball and those that aren't.
Because basketball has smaller budgetary requirements, from staff to facilities, to recruiting budgets-- its a hell of a lot easier to spend the money to be competitive in basketball.
That's how this happens. Gonzaga doesn't lose its HC 20 years ago to UCLA, because Gonzaga can spend the money to be competitive at the highest level. Its a completely different calculus than football.
