It's a pretty poor name. I never really heard one I liked though. They just should have kept the Big East
At least we can go by AAC and confuse people who maybe think we're in the ACC.

at least it doesn't have a number and the over use word "Big". It's not that bad.

It's at the very, very, very top of all conference lists. Can't get to any others w/o seeing the AAC. Not bad. Not great. Woulda been happy w/ Metro, or American Metro Conf.
But, let's be real, unless it was SunBeast, no one was going to be happy.

Not bad IMO. There wasnt a single name that people weren't going to rip on, but this isn't bad. Looking forward to seeing what they do with the logo

To that point, in the big east official story on their site, the Chairman of CBS sports refers to it as The American...East Coast Mustang wrote:did they know there's already an AAC though? http://www.aacsports.com/

It's going to be branded as "The American." I like that better, AAC is too close to ACCblackoutpony wrote:To that point, in the big east official story on their site, the Chairman of CBS sports refers to it as The American...East Coast Mustang wrote:did they know there's already an AAC though? http://www.aacsports.com/

Like the name, wish we were going with the initials. On the plus side, here's our new logo (just drop the S)

From looking at the Wiki page, it seems like we have one of the smallest football stadiums.

At least we aren't the BM Conference or AMC, home of the Walking Dead
(Big Metro and American Metro names were also discussed)
