As outlined by Kyle Williston:

The Red Line

Basically, Kyle suggests that those conferences whose average athletic budgets are above $20 million are the majors, those below that are the mid-majors.  The Summit League is fifth from last in average athletic budget. 

If the bottom line is the critical factor for success, then the Summit League actually overachieves (slightly), ranking 25 (of 32) in RPI.  For comparison, the Summit League ranks 17 in the Pomeroy ratings, and 20 by Sagarin.
