President Warren G. Harding's definitions
A term invented by American sports-writers, used within college sports.
"Mid-Major" was originally used because no one had a good term to describe a college or conference less powerful than the BCS college/conferences, but more powerful than the next level down. The Division I-A non-BCS conferences, as of 2007, are the Mountain West, Conference USA, MAC, WAC and Sun Belt.
Sports writers and fans alike often express distase for the term, but no one has been able to come up with anything better yet.

1) The mid-major conferences had a good year in 2006, when Boise State upset Oklahoma in their bowl game.
2) Why does Michigan keep scheduling those mid-majors early in the season? Schedule a real team, already!

Get the Netflix Roulette mug.It's like that thing, where you accidentally knock your mouse off your desk, and rather than reach down to get it, you just grab the cable and reel it back up, hand over hand.

Formed as a power conference in 1962, all six of its founding members are now members of either the PAC-10 or the Mountain West Conference. Current membership has been relatively stable since 1996, with the top portion of the WAC dominating the national college scene, with the Boise State Broncos and Hawai'i Warriors gaining national football recognition, while the Nevada Wolfpack, Utah State Aggies, and New Mexico State Aggies have been doing the same with NCAA Division I Basketball.
Nicknames for all sports teams are, respectively, the Boise State Broncos, Fresno State Bulldogs, Hawaii Warriors, Idaho Vandals, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, Nevada Wolfpack, New Mexico State Aggies, San Jose Spartans, and Utah State Aggies.

Whilst the bottom portion of the WAC scares no one, the top half is capable of toppling even the mightest of egos, nawmsayin'?

Get the WAC mug.The 29th president of the United States (1921-1923), widely considered to be the worst President of all time, until soundly replaced in this title by George W. Bush (2001-2009).
Harding was from humble roots in the midwest, spoke in a a simple country manner, promised government jobs to his friends, had an administration largely associated with corruption, had a vice president who didn't say much, was immensely popular when he was elected before seeing his popularity nosedive until it was almost non-existent. In short, the only differences between Harding and the junior Bush was that Bush served 8 years to Harding's 2, and Harding never sent a single American soldier overseas to die.
Harding was not, in fact, a negro (this rumor was started by his oppositon prior to the 1920 election), though he was the first President elected after the passing of the 19th Amendment (the amendment that allowed women to vote). Unlike the junior Bush, Harding actually succeeded an *un*popular President, in that Woodrow Wilson won re-election by promising not to get involved in World War I, then entered it anyway. Another departue from Bush was the sheer mediocrity of his successor, Calvin Coolidge, who was famous for spending most of his eight years at the golf course.
The G does not, in fact, stand for Gangster.
