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. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5899725&campaign=rss&source=ESPNUHeadlines 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. *retch*
conferenica tejas y norte changing demographics you know. New tv deal will be huge with univision and telemundo slugging it out for the rights!
They should be like prince and call it: "The conference formerly known as the big 12" Or just shorten it to: "The Conference"
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.
