Money alone won't work

The media calls them the Power Five. I call them the Money Five, because in college sports money is power, and football means money. Since the realignment turmoil, the new Big East (no FBS football) has ranked 2nd and 4th among the conferences, and so far this year has fluctuated between first and second. The SEC is throwing a small fortune at basketball, but thus far it has not moved them up much in the rankings. Money alone doesn't equal success in basketball. You also have to have a fan base that cares.
