We run *Insert Power Conference Here*

Notable Fans: Kentucky, Kansas, Arizona …

It is one thing to be proud of your school for winning its conference, it is another to constantly argue that winning the conference trumps underperforming expectations. The fans that point to conference championships as the sole measure of success do so in order to take the focus away from the month of March.

While March matter when they are winning, the minute they lose their conversations turn to February when things were better. They will argue that teams like Gonzaga, Nevada and Loyola-Chicago are not that good because of their conference, even though those schools got just as far as they did in the NCAA Tournament.

The issue becomes even more apparent when dealing with Arizona fans who run a conference that hasn’t won a National Championship in 20 years and has fallen to the bottom of the power conference structure. If you are so proud about running your conference, why not take the next step and win more consistently in March?
