new conference name?

[UCinsider]

Since the Catholic schools are taking the Big East name, our conference now needs a new one. How about some suggestions? Here's mine:

The Eastaways

Basically, what this comes down to is that the Catholic schools just kicked the football schools (Uconn, Cincinatti and USF) out the the Big East.

How about the UstaBeast. Or the Unwanted

May I respectfully submit The Rising Sun Conference; chosen to symbolize the fact that despite all the upheaval within the conferences, despite all the upheaval within the college sports landscape, despite all the upheaval in the world at large, the sun still rises every morning in the east. It may not be collegiate sports as we like and remember, but we have not lost college athletics entirely. The old rivalries are gone, the innocence is gone, some of the joy has been lost. One can certainly not look upon college athletics as anything but a major business enterprise. Although it is hard for many of us to believe that things will work out better, it just might. The sun will come out tomorrow!

It is one hell of a divorce. First the Catholic schools grab all the money they can, then they not only split but take the marketable family name with them. Next thing, they will sue for alimony.

How is it that they were able to leave the conference and take the name with them? How does that work? And, if true, isn't that the same as kicking UConn and others out of the Big East? How is it different?

The ACC - All Country Conference. Just a "fingers crossed" thought.

They are paying to keep the BE name.
