America, Continental, East, Metro, numbers, etc.?

We will take 2/3 of the US (ET and CT), while MWC takes the other 1/3 with its MT and PT zones.

Answer: America East Conference (AEC)

That has real possibilities WP.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

I like:

Big Easty
The Pick Me Conference
On Deck Conference
Mountain East
Even Bigger 12
Actually 12
Dirty Dozen
The Crime Rate Conference

All are better than America 12...hell, "Group of Schools Conference" is better.

The National Conference of American Athletics. Then we could get everyone excited about the NCAA tournament. Of course we'd have to forego any logical way of determining our conference football champion...
Support the Commitment! We're all SMU Mustangs fans- we should all be committed!
