BBTV Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Regardless, it's a silly name either way. Big 10, Big 12, etc. are kind of dumb. Come up with something distinct for your league. It's not like the NFL is the Really Big 32.Having a number in your name is really stupid, for the exact reason we're discussing in this thread. I can't believe that people who were supposedly so smart actually came up with conference names that are so dumb.

BBTV Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 There are all kinds of posts where someone says "[insert member name here], you owe me a new keyboard, because I just spit my [insert drink here] on it", and 13 times out of 15, the post it refers to wasn't even all that clever, and the beverage-spitter must just be easily amused (or a dimwitted idiot). Thanks to Admiral, I am now in this club (with coffee being the beverage of choice). I wouldn't call it spitting, more like laughing followed by coughing, with a tiny bit of leakage. No equipment damaged, or clothing stained. I hope that this qualifies as one of the two out of 15, but I'll have to judge that later in the day.

It's not like the NFL is the Really Big 32.Having a number in your name is really stupid, for the exact reason we're discussing in this thread. I can't believe that people who were supposedly so smart actually came up with conference names that are so dumb.While they may be "kind of dumb" names, they are what they are and I don't expect them to change anytime soon. Not to mention the fact that they distinctly refer to college athletics as opposed to professional leagues. If they tried to modernize the names or change them in some way you'd get something equally ridiculous as FBS and whatever the hell they call Division 2 and 3 now. It was easy and simple before, but someone had the genius idea to create new names. In my opinion, they should have kept what they had before in the same way that they shouldn't change conference names either.In regards to BIG TEN going to 12 teams, I thought one of the posts on page one had an interesting idea about expanding to 14 teams in 10 states. that would be interesting, though I'm not sure how they would do that. Plus, wouldn't 14 teams further dilute the profits that the conference would get from bowl games and television rights? I'd imagine that if they added 3 more teams that those teams would have to be big time teams with major revenue potential (like Notre Dame) or else it would be a bad business move on their part. I don't think Mizzou or Syracuse would cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 You could just take the old Big Ten logo (before the secret 11), and then in little white letters, put a "TW" before the E in TEN, and a little "LVE" after it. ?

DelayedPenalty Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Just rename it the Big North Athletic Conference to avoid the 10-12 confusion. Perhaps something like this could work if that were the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 They'd just have to change it every time the conference added or killed a team, which, while it doesn't happen often, could always happen. They should just avoid anything that binds them to a number or some type of variable.

They should just avoid anything that binds them to a number or some type of variable.They'd have bigger problems than remaning a conference if they killed off a whole team. If they stick with the name, they should remove the 11 from the logo and run with it. The Atlantic Ten has 14 member institutions (plus another affiliate).

Herblet Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Just to humor myself.I like this one not to much of a change. I don't like the name change The Big Ten just sounds to good to change. Also on my mind if they did add a 12th team would they split into to divisions North-South or East-West??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
