Tennis is one of the most popular college sports around. There are almost 2,500 programs across the country playing intercollegiate tennis at some level.

Today we take a look at the top college recruiting classes from the "mid-major" programs - programs outside of the so-called "high-major" conferences that are slotted into BCS football bowl games.

Many mid-major schools compete at a very high level. In Division I post-season play, mid-major teams posted fourteen match wins in the 2012 NCAA team tournament, with the Pepperdine men reaching the Final Four. Mid-major programs have won national titles in the singles, doubles, and team events.

We can also talk about many quality teams in Division II, Division III, NAIA, NJCAA, and CCC - teams that compete for national titles every year.
