Taking the reigns of the new conference

[Fishy]

Aresco is the wrong man to lead this conference. I am also the wrong man, but he wants a million dollars to destroy it and I'm willing to do it for free. So....I get the job.

The name will be the Big American Metro Conference.

If we can work any other names in there, we will.

Hurricane Division

UConn
Temple
East Carolina
UCF
USF
Navy

Tornado Division

Cincinnati
Tulane
Tulsa
SMU
Houston
Memphis

Now, you ask, how can Tulane possibly be in the Tornado Division?

Well, because I like irony and hate Tulane.

Our hoop tournament will be at Marist College, or if there's a lot of demand for tickets, Albany. Both are really easy for me to get to and since I am running the show for free, we're going to try to make it convenient for me to attend.

Our football championship game will be held at the Rent if UConn is involved and will either be cancelled or held in Iceland if UConn is not. I kinda want to see Iceland and this might be a way for me to go and write it off.

Our conference meetings will be held at my house. No one is wearing boots on my wood floors so Houston, SMU and Tulsa will be forced to Skype in. Tulane and Memphis can email any questions or concerns that they may have - I would rather not be reminded that they exist and seeing them in person would cause me stress. I will vote for Temple, UCF, USF, and East Carolina which will save them plane fare. UConn and Cincy will have all their votes tallied as "this conference sucks" and are excused. Navy can come to the meetings, but only if they let me use one of their boats.

If one of you will stop by Providence and throw Aresco's s*** in the street, I will get down to the business of running this conference.

It's funny because it's true.

If Butch can find some free parking in Providence, he'll take care of that for you.

 

[coachcap]

Can I be the person to lock up the conference doors in Providence & then throw the keys in Narragansett Bay?

That position is officially known as "Associate Commissioner".

Welcome aboard.

You need more rigor in the hiring process

A successful candidate should be required to pin Mo Vaughn in the pudding wrestling ring at the Foxy Lady on a Wednesday night.

Personally, I prefer the name Big Association of Similarly Situtated Schools, Universities, Colleges and Know-it-alls or Big ASS SUCK, but I see where you are going. At least you need to add some number that does not directly reflect the number of schools in the conference. I suggest 1000 as it easy to remember and can be used as PIN code as well.

 

[storrsroars]

I like the Iceland idea. Especially if it's played outdoors.

I'd also change the name to Big Metro Oddment Conference so we can at least pretend to be the BMOC.

 

[huskypantz]

Since you will be working for free, the conference presidents can reimburse you by liking your posts.

 

[freescooter]

I can't believe you think Memphis would know how to use electricity never mind email questions from a computer!

So much win in this thread, ha!...

The schools involved are not Middle Tennessee State. Nor are they Michigan except Navy and close ones with SMU, Tulane and UConn. Notice the other schools are private, besides Navy. We should have been given a much better TV contract. We are underestimated, in value and that contract undervalues the schools involved and somewhat makes it look that way. We are in a conference that's a purgatory from the Sun Belt. Next level up is not far away. We just sent our hockey program to the moon.

Yes ... Darn it. At least $40m.

We, reading between the lines, NBC put in a clause protecting themselves from UConn and/or Cincy leaving. Low value ... we have schools that have value that may not be there more than a nanosecond.

You are what your record says you are.

They aren't underestimated. That's what they're worth. You can complain about it, or accept it and come up with ways to change that in the coming years.

 

[Adios]

We probably have more good wins than bad losses since we went FBS. The last two years were rough. Except for the wins against UMD and Louisville.

I think a school is worth what the market says. We were doing ok on SNY in football.

I agree. Wake Forest is worth over $20MM a year while UConn is worth $2MM.

 

[CTMike]

I agree. Wake Forest is worth over $20MM a year while UConn is worth $2MM.

What is going on today with me and Nelson agreeing?!

We are worth much more to an ACC or B1G than we are with our current slop of stablemates.

 

[jibsey]

The BMC pretty much covers it
Bowel Movement Conference
"Oh crap, this really is our conference!"

 

[zls44]

I agree. Wake Forest is worth over $20MM a year while UConn is worth $2MM.

Right now? As constituted? Yes. Yes they are.

If UConn joins a different group of teams? That changes. But UConn with USF, UCF, ECU et al? $2 mil.

How about a small tweak to get a McDonald's endorsement. The Big Metro Atlantic Conference. Think about it!

The McDonald's 2013 Big Mac all league team.
Dollar menu at the Rent.
Ronald McDonald stadium at Rentschler Field.
Instead of section 138 it's the quarter pounder section.
McCafe, it's endless and it can make up for the revenue shortfall.

"Go beyond that. Keep the Big Name. Call it an Athletic Conference. BMAC. People will call it the Big Mac, which works. Go beyond that and quickly sign up McDonald’s as a sponsor and partner. That brings in money and recognition and a younger target audience. Have BMAC t-shirts available at McDonald’s. BMAC mugs."

Damn you jersey guy

We are on the second page of this thread and no one has pointed out that Fishy doesn't know the difference between "reigns" and "reins". I don't know if that particular point of ignorance makes him more or less qualified to be commissioner.

You have no idea how hard it is to spell without a gaggle of secretaries i think if we pay him more money he can fix it. More to the point I think our commissioner's moto should be "everyone makes mistukes'.

The only good that could come out of holding the title game in Iceland is that if we make it to that game we can put GDL next to Haukadalur and have a contest where you guess which is the older geyser .............


I know, lousy joke but I had to.
