Name recognition is pretty much the only thing the Big East has going for it anymore. If they become the "All American Conference" or something you throw that last shred of recognition away.

If NBC gives enough money for the TV contract they can call it Conference NBC as far as I am concerned.

Very stupid IMO. Like someone said, name recognition is all the BE has going for it anymore. At least in basketball, the Big East name still carries some weight. Would be dumb to change it. Surely some sharp marketing people will figure this out

Selling naming rights is my bet.

Is Colorado or Utah on the Pacific?

Is Pittsburg or Syracuse on the Atlantic?

Is Texas A&M or Missou in the Southeast?

Are there 12 teams in the Big10 and 10 teams in the Big12?

How about:

EbAiSgT Conference or eBaIsGt

BigTMZ Conference
(too many zones)

THE Image CONFERENCE

Earn Double Points on all Conference Purchases Conference

SunShinesLonger Conference

BiGGeR

Losers Division, Expendables Division

Bigger Conference, Better Football
(as long as Louisville stays)

At least we don't have 3 teams named Tigers Conference
