Message: [QUOTE="genzhusk, post: 4267059, member: 11331"] [B]For old timers I have a question about P5 status and if that’s a new thing in wbb[/B]…. All this talk about P5 dominance (on the women’s side) is this new? Fans of P5 schools are constantly discrediting achievements by non- SEC, ACC, B1G, Big12, and Pac-12 schools. Example: many fans of a certain SEC team took disliking to UCF being rated as the #1 defensive rating in the country saying “their non-P5 conference is a good stat padder.” based on the results of this tourney, playing defense in the SEC is a great stat padder as well. It was also interesting in the post Uconn-Indiana game a reporter (who has been taking shots at UConn all tourney) said to Moren that “it took a P5 school to end your season.” How is UConn a P5 school? I guess based on money/resources it definitely matches up, but I thought P5 schools were in the P5 football conferences only? [B]So i guess my question for those who have been around for a long time… 1. Was the old big east (2013-prior) called a P5 conference? 2. Is the “P5 superiority“ concept a new thing? 3. is UConn a mid-major? 4. BTW i like UConn in the big east for historical reasons, it’s nice! 5. If you’ve made it this far and feel kind enough to respond, thanks for the history lesson.[/B] [/QUOTE]
