Not sure if this belongs in this thread but it is offhandedly related to the conference...

The latest Sports Illustrated (with the Jason Collins story/cover) has a long article by Pete Thamel about basketball in India and a 7 foot teenager they are hoping will turn the Indian masses onto basketball. 

At one point in the story Thamel is writing about the current Indian nation team and he says "As for the level of play, the Indian team would struggle in the middling America East Conference, against teams such as Maine, Hartford and Vermont."

That quote is in the story and then blown up for emphasis.

I guess it is good he left SBU out of a characterization like that!
