Seadragon76 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Makes sense since there is a Horizon League now.Why? Well, you can have a Horizon over the Summit. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 OK, now I think the Horizon League should change its name back to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. You know, just to confuse everybody in the country who follows college basketball only at tourney time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The name change is a push, but that logo sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herk Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Who is the moron who thought that being called the Summit League sounds better than the Mid-Continent Conference. I have not been a fan of recent conference name changes; Horizon, America East, Summit, Atlantic Sun are all inferior names than the original conference name.

slapshot Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Wouldn't "Summit" imply there's a mountain somewhere?Aside from Southern Utah, none of the representative schools are exactly known for their proximity to any majestic peaks.

A big part of the reason they switched to the Horizon League in the first place was because of all the confusion between Midwest Collegiate Conference and Mid-Continent Conference. Although I wouldn't call them similar leagues. It's pretty clear by how the MCC took half the league from the Mid-Con in 1995 that they're on different levels.At least the MAC and MAAC don't represent the same part of the country... save for one city.I have not been a fan of recent conference name changes; Horizon, America East, Summit, Atlantic Sun are all inferior names than the original conference name. I disagree. I think having "Collegiate" and/or "Athletic" in every name makes them sound unnecessarily generic. But I do think conference names should refer to some kind of region. I always thought that a name like "Northern Sky Conference" or "Great Lakes Conference" made more sense than Horizon League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
