Gonzaga basketball coach Mark Few told The Spokesman-Review in Washington Sunday that the rest of the West Coast Conference is "dragging the top three (teams) down."
After a poor showing for Mid-Major schools on Selection Sunday in which Gonzaga drew an 11-seed in the Midwest Region, Few said "our league needs to really step back and take notice."
Gonzaga, an NCAA Tournament regular, earns extra money for the WCC upon qualification for the postseason. Few bemoaned how much money the Bulldogs are making for distribution within the league while other teams in the conference appear to not be pulling their weight.
"... If they're not spending it on basketball, we don't need to be sponsoring swimming at those schools or whatever they've got going," Few said. "They're not all in."
