I'm sure this thread was here over the summer just like it was on the other board which will go unnamed :cough OUI, OUI :cough.
Anyway now it seems they are really looking into a name change for the conference.
The commissioners also discussed the year's realignment drama at length. Beebe said the Big 12 has hired a firm to look into adopting a new name for a league that will have 10 members. He said the smaller number will allow the league to create the relationships and the rivalries that the older leagues such as the ACC and Big Ten developed before they expanded to 12 members.

So what's your name for the conference?
Here's some I got off the top of my head.
New Southwest Conference
Longhorn Athletic Conference
The Little 10

With Bebee handling it, I'm sure he has put this question in the capable hands of a "firm" that has no concept of the various cultures of the schools involved, with the added bonus of cluelessness regarding the rich histories.
Get ready for them to gay it up with The Heartland 10 Conference.

They should be like prince and call it:
"The conference formerly known as the big 12"
Or just shorten it to: "The Conference" :D

I hope the new conference name doesn't contain a number at all, or uses "X" as a letter rather than a roman numeral. ("Conference X" for example, though I don't like that name.)
In an ideal world you don't have to change the name of your conference just because you add or drop a team.

They should leave the number out of the name, so there is no need to change the name every time some team joins or when a team leaves.

No it effing wouldnt... We are not in the Midwest. That is where the big teneleven twelve is located. At least a lot more than we are. The only teams in the midwest are debatably in Kansas.
