Taj79 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 New name for the remnants of the old Big East. Kind of like it on two different levels ---- #1) it's non-directional, as in big EAST, mountain WEST, SOUTHEAST conference, ATLANTIC ten, and #2) it's not affiliated to anything numerical as in pac-TWELVE, atlantic TEN, big TEN and so on. I would say someone got it relatively right for a change. Of course, it could be perceived as geographical, as in all of AMERICA, and maybe that's a harbinger of their yet-to-be-stated demands to take over the world (wink, wink). And rightfully so .... I've sat next to enough Temple and Cincinnati fans to know their teams rule the basketball universe. They've told me so ... many times.

Pistol Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I actually like it, too, for the same reasons you listed above. Plus, the name couldn't be any more generic- just like the makeup of the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think it's dumb but they are painted into a corner and I can't really come up with anything better. A little too close to ACC. Plus the AAC is the American Airlines Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
