Great America Conference

Conference trophy in the shape of the United States.

I vote for: American Coast to Coast Conference or the ACCC - "WE have more C's than Tobacco Road"

I really like the name, Big East. Why not keep it the Big East Conference with a two divisions- Big East and Big West?

Invite San Diego State and presto, the Atlantic - Pacific Conference (APC). Why not piss everybody else off?

Dumb idea to change the conference name. Does the addition of TA&M make the Southeast Conference the South Conference cause it's creeping to the west. When you have a known brand name, you stick with it. Big 10 comes to mind. The NFL stayed that way even after absorbing the AFL. Some wanted the combination to be called The UFL. And even though they stayed with The National Football League, they created National and American Conferences.
We are The Big East. We will remain The Big East. And we'll have Eastern and Western Divisions.

Coast to Coast Conference. Then the members can call themselves "CCCPs" (Coast to Coast Conference Participants).

I say just go with American Coast Conference and really piss off ESPN and ACC.

The beauty of this also is that announcers will try to make it easy to distinguish for the viewers. They will refer to the current ACC as ACC-Atlantic and they will refer to the new conference as ACC-America.. :-P

Well we'll be spanning the country so how about Conference USA. That might have a familiar ring to more than a few of the members.

The conference is the Big East, plain and simple.

 

[UConn64BA72JD]

Coast to Coast Conference. Then the members can call themselves "CCCPs" (Coast to Coast Conference Participants).

Then perhaps we will hear those classic words, "Mr. Swofford, tear down this wall!"?

 

[Joobie]

Paclantic? Atlanfic?

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

The REALLLY BIIIIG East.

 

[HartbeatHusky]

The Notorious B.I.G. Conference. It's the illest.

 

[noeynox]

Patterning ourselves after the big 10, we can call our divisions the leftovers and the leftouts.

 

[Atross]

How about the Big East/West or The Best Conference
Divisions: Big East and Big West

 

[junglehusky]

Big West-East Athletic Scholastic Throng - BWEAST

 

[Waquoit]

You're getting there. How about the Great Atlantic-Pacific Conference? We can be the new A&P!

USAC United States Athletic Conference. Of course the smart asses will call it the USUC conference which could be the chip on the shoulder needed to bring out the fight in the dog.


Might be workable as a all sports conference of 20 teams if you could get the five best from the West, Central, South and North East that are available or could be persuaded to jump in. Miami might get the "Death Penalty" and could get the boot from the ACC. It won't take long for them to make a huge comeback with the right people in place. Penn St and Ohio St, both reeling in scandal might be up for a change of scenery if a Northern or Central division of a super conference that makes sense came to be. SMU, Rice, Houston, all candidates in football and who knows in other sports. USF, UCF, Memphis? UConn, Rutgers, Louisville, Cincy, Temple all looking for something better than what they are facing now. You could put one heck of a good conference together if you started to look around. Work out the logistics so that no one gets hammered travel wise but set it up with a two playoff series to determine who gets the BCS bid (4 divisions, winner of each plays). Could work into a nice Thanksgiving weekend showpiece.
