[East Coast Mustang]

Are yall serious? It's not that bad? What do yuo suggest instead? Also, this conference is considerably better than what we were in before. Please chill out already

[CenTXpony]

The ECC.... The Eastern Coastal Conference..... or the AAC the Atlantic Athletic Conference ...

[Mustangsabu]

Let's just give into the inner SMU in all of us.

"The Conference"
or
"The 12"

[smusic 00]

I second "THE Conference"

[RGV Pony]

I second "THE Conference"

Yes. Like THE Hotel

[Ponymon]

ZZ Top has a song titled, "Bad Nationwide". Might be an interesting name?

[PonyKai]

Let's be honest, whatever they picked the new name to be...nobody was going to like it.

[Grant Carter]

Let's be honest, whatever they picked the new name to be...nobody was going to like it.

I agree with that, just don't go with a number that a) is not accurate right now and b) you know will not be accurate at various times in the (likely near) future as almost everyone in your conference will leave if they get a chance.

How about Lil 12.

BIG EAST Commissioner Mike Aresco Statement Regarding Conference Name:

"We have not chosen a new conference name at this time and there are no favorites. We are going through a thoughtful evaluation of potential names for our conference, and will select a name in a timely manner through a comprehensive and deliberate process that involves our presidents and athletic directors as well as constituents from inside and outside the conference. We are excited about the prospect of re-branding and look forward to working with our institutions and our fans as we engage in this process."

I don't think the number of teams really matters that much. Do you get confused by the big 12 or big 10? Everyone knows what those conferences are regardless of how many current members they have

No I do not get confused. They named those conferences at a time when conference membership was not in nearly as much flux as it is right now. They expected to have stable memberships for the foreseeable future so using a number was sensible. Does this conference expect to be stable for the foreseeable future? Does this conference even have 12 schools right now?
