Message: [QUOTE="prankster, post: 3970048, member: 14"] Your statement is true, when speaking of the small cohort, only. But, in fact, the issue is seldom that the lower half of your conference is below the median for the conference (small cohort). But it is where they rank in the large cohort, all of the D-1 teams. That large cohort consideration is where the numbers become meaningful for conference strength. Once upon a time the Big East (old) landed 50% of its teams in the Tournament. Large cohort spoke to the overall strength of that league, that year. Small cohort still would have landed 50% below the median. [/QUOTE]
