La Philadelphia Big 5 es una asociación informal de universidades de la ciudad de Filadelfia, Pensilvania, en los Estados Unidos de América. No es una conferencia, de hecho las cinco universidades son miembros de tres conferencias diferentes: la Atlantic 10, la Big East y la Ivy League. Las cinco universidades que componen el Big 5 son Pennsylvania, La Salle, Saint Joseph's, Temple y Villanova. Cuatro de ellas están dentro o limitando la ciudad de Filadelfia (el campus de Saint Joseph's rebasa los límites de la ciudad). La quinta, Villanova, se encuentra en el barrio de la periferia de Main Line. (es)
The Big 5 is an informal association of college athletic programs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is not a conference, but rather a group of NCAA Division I basketball schools who compete for the city’s collegiate championship. The Big 5 consists of the University of Pennsylvania, La Salle University, Saint Joseph's University, Temple University, and Villanova University. Penn, La Salle, Saint Joseph's, and Temple are located in Philadelphia proper and Villanova is in a nearby Main Line campus. Big 5 schools represent some of the oldest and most successful men's basketball programs in the nation. Four of the five teams—Temple (5th), Villanova (19th), Penn (22nd), and Saint Joseph's (47th)—are in the top 50 for all-time Division I basketball victories. The Big 5 creed reads: "They say there's no trophy for winning the Big Five. They must not be from Philadelphia." (en)
