I want them out.

What would you prefer the group of conferences outside the most powerful conferences be called besides G5 in FBS and mid-major in basketball?

Division 1 conference. One of the 10 FBS conferences. I want them called by what they officially are.

Why is that so objectionable?

What else do we delineate along completely arbitrary, made up names? Lot of that stuff will get you into trouble...

The term DI is not objectionable. Then again, neither are P5, G5, mid-major, etc. These terms are not inherently derogatory. They simply reflect the very real gap in money, talent, and prestige between the P5 and G5 in FBS and the P6 and mid-majors in basketball. It's naive or misleading to not recognize such a distinction.

Hahhahaha. How many Final Fours have been served up by whatever squad you root for? I'm a JMU fan and it' been since '82 or so since we took Jordan et al. to the wire, so we've had an admitted drought.

But, with the success of programs like GMU, VCPoo etc., You can't tell me that all this "talent" is only in the P5 or G5.

That's just being silly.

I don't have a squad I root for. In any case, there is certainly some talent in the non-power conferences. But you can't tell me that a conference like the A-10 as a whole has more talent than any of the power conferences.
