If they would have named it Big 11, Big 12 and Big 10 fans would still make fun of it. You are never going to please everyone and at least it's a simple and clean name. Plus it will be one of the first conferences listed when you check conference standings. I would have preferred AAC, but A12 still gets us the preferred location. I'm good with this.

The "America" conference is too milktoast. It says nothing about the member institutions. If our strategy is an urban focus, we should embrace that fact in our name. We are not land grant schools.

Brand it like they do at AMC the Network. We can be the Walking Dead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then sell it to the Pac or Big 12 (whichever reaches 16 first). More $$ in our pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
