Message: [QUOTE="ecasadoSBU, post: 4174038, member: 3976"] The Power-5 is a made up media term to refer to the five autonomy conference that can provide some more resources to their student athletes. The term is used in football because it makes sense - those 5 autonomy conference enjoy special access to the New Year's Six Bowls and have landed all the CFP berths, except for Cincy. Power-5 means nothing in basketball context because they don't enjoy any special privileges into the NCAA tournament. Each of the 32 conference have equal AQ access to the NCAA tournament, for now. If you want to use Power-5 in basketball as a way to signify strength then you must use Power-6 as the Big East recruits and plays at the same level. The AAC is also pretty good [/QUOTE]
