Mid-major

Mid-major is a term used in American NCAA Division I college sports, especially men's basketball, to refer to athletic conferences that are not among the so-called "Power Five conferences" (the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC, the programs of which are sometimes referred to as "high majors" by comparison). The term "mid-major" was coined in 1977 by Jack Kvancz, head coach of Catholic University's men's basketball team.〔(The Mid Majority )〕 Such a distinction is not officially acknowledged by the NCAA, nor does the NCAA use the terms "major" and "mid-major" to differentiate between Division I athletic conferences.
==Football==
Because of the development of the now-defunct Bowl Championship Series in 1998, and the lack of a playoff format for the Football Bowl Subdivision prior to the College Football Playoff, the demarcation line between major and mid-major conferences was much clearer in college football than in other sports. The six conferences of the BCS each had guaranteed appearances in one of the four major bowl games (Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Sugar Bowl), whereas mid-majors — the teams that were not in one of those six leagues — relied on an at-large bid or a high ranking to qualify for a major bowl. (The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team, an independent, was an exception.) It was rare for any mid-major program to receive one of two at-large bids (or only one, if Notre Dame qualified) to one of the four major bowls, even if such a program completed a perfect season. The establishment of the BCS National Championship Game opened two additional at-large berths, which led to an increase in mid-major appearances in the four major bowls. No mid-major ever qualified for the BCS title game. With the advent of the college football playoff, the number of major conferences with automatic bids to major bowls (in certain years) is now five.
The term "mid-major" was also in use, for a time, at the Football Championship Subdivision level. From 2001-2007, various media outlets developed a NCAA Division I FCS Consensus Mid-Major Football National Championship for three football conferences that did not have automatic bids to the NCAA Division I Football Championship. It was dissolved after one of the two conferences ended its football sponsorship and another received an automatic bid to the tournament.
Only one team from a mid-major conference has won a National Championship (BYU, 1984).
