When Benedict calls them the Autonomous 5, I think of them breaking away from the NCAA. That would be disastrous for us. I'd rather have him call them the Power 5.
I see what you're saying but I think by calling them the Autonomous 5 he's actually making the case that there is less of a difference between us and them. The Autonomous 5 provide full cost of attendance, as does UConn. Power 5 implies clear separation, I think his intention is to shatter the myth that somehow a school in one of those 5 conferences is superior to UConn just by existing.
