America 12?

this seems to capture all the right catch prases:

North
AMerican
Big
League
Alliance

Haha. If we kept the C7 there would have to be a "M" in there.

As long as they make conference commercials that are appealing and don't look like a middle school student made them like the current BE commercials I'll be happy. Not big on the name but so be it. Let's see a logo

McMurphy says not definite but America 12 is leading candidate. Can we find out what others have been registered by the law firm?

McMurphy says America One has also been registered.

He took that back

Didn't see that, my bad.

No worries.

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.

What's "inspiring" - Is there any conference that has an "inspiring" name?

Now that we have a name and everything is stable, let's kick Temple out again! Those were the good old days!

If you read the article on ESPN it basically says they've registered every variation of Americs 12 possible.

The name itself is not supposed to be inspiring, but should result from some inspiration.

Right but I'm wondering if there's a way to look up other registrations of other entirely different names. Like Da Badass Conference (where my Stern fans at?).

Mehh. Call it whatever. People will still laugh at it.

Just as long as we'll be leaving it soon.

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.

We should call the conference 'The UNWANTED CONFERENCE". I mean look at the schools in it!! It is the land of misfit toys!!

So Syracuse is joining?

 

[UConnDan97]

I'm trying to stay positive about this new conference, but this is a horrible, horrible, horrible.....horrible....name. Conferences should not take on the name of the nation (i.e., Conference USA). Also, conferences should no longer take on names with the number of teams in them, especially one that is very likely to get picked over again. Uggh. Isn't there anyone in that head office that has any friggin' foresight???

(No, we aren't C-USA 2.0....we're America-12! Well holy $#it, partner, I'm convinced now...)

 

[housekeys]

LMAO

We can pretend it means something meaningful.

Are you thinking NAMBLA?

 

[IMind]

Hey look on the bright side... we're 2 better than the A-10!

Nigel Tufnel endorses this name.

One good thing you can say about it is that it doesn't rhyme with least anymore.

 

[Orac]

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?

yup, and since "12" comes before "East" alphabetically, this should put them at the top, ahead of that power house "America East" (who I think partly changed their name from "North Atlantic" in order to be listed first.
It's worked out so well for them... and let's see what their response is to this move by the NNNNNBE to supplant them at the top!
