America 12?

[Jaichim24]

Someone posted a short while ago on the Scout WVU site that Big East Law Firm Covington & Burling just registered www.america12sports.com on 3-5-13. Covington and Burling represented the Big East vs. WVU.

So the A12 for short? Let's hope it changes to A11 soon.

This name works fine.

There are so many reasons this is stupid:

First, what conferences are committing to numbers now, especially this anal polyp.

Second, why the hell does this league need twelve members? First person who says championship game gets banned .

I vote for: "America: The Conference"

 

[partial]

Is this a reference to the tenuous confederacy of early American colonies after declaring independence? 'Merica yea, now just gotta git my chewing tobaccy and rifle to celebrate.

 

[hexlub]

Yeah. The number thing scares me. Also, the America thing in case we need to find teams in Canada or Mexico.

I hear Ryerson has a spot on curling team.

Mike, I think the sad version is appropriate:

I like it. The number 12 will keep the football types happy. After 3 years of moronic postings on '12' as the only viable solution its time we join the Big 12 and have our 10 teams titled as the 12.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

I have an issue with the 12 part of the name. Why commit to 12? What happens if the league wants to go to 16? Anyway, expecting those brainiacs in Providence to do anything right is probably asking a lot.

The only thing I didn't want was to have America or American in the conference name.

Well, . We successfully rebranded as CUSA 2.0

 

[RioDog]

You can always change the number. Now those guys that called themselves `Big`...thats a problem.

Big Aresco 12.

Or maybe we have to invent a word - a comment branding tactic these days...such as Accenture or Altria.

They surely wanted an A name, since it puts it at the top in the list of conference standings.

As for the number issue ... Yeah that really limits conferences ability to expand.
Remind me again how many teams are in the big 12? Big 10? Atlantic 10?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Could it be any more bland and uninspired. The avoided "Big" at least. Hoping to avoid "America" and any number as well. 1 out of 3...not good.

The Succassia Conference?

I guess you wouldn't be in favor of the Big America 11?

 

[Pudge]

This is really amusing.

It doesn't matter what they name it. Brand it. Promote. You guys wouldn't love it anywhich way.

 

[scdono]

To be safe and to ensure we have enough teams in the future, we should probably play it safe and call it the North American conference.

 

[WestHartHusk]

North
America
Forsaken
Teams
Assocation

We will have Mexican and Canadian viewers flocking to our games!
