'The Big East leftovers finally settled on a new name for its conference. The American Athletic, which sounds a lot like a generic brand of sweatshirts they might sell at SEARS.
But it could be worse. The day is coming when greedy college presidents will finally allow their bland, non-specific conference to be named after a corporate sponsor
Frankly, conferences don't get any vaguer than the concoction of nobodies UConn is stuck with at the moment.
So, really, be happy with American Athletic, AAC of whatever pet name sticks. Because this very easily could have been the Beef O'Brady's Conference."
