dcameronh Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Since it looks like the "Catholic 7" will buy the rights to the "Big East" name when they leave next year, will the leftover BE schools bring back the old "Metro Conference" that died in 1995? I think it would be great ideahttp://www.usatoday....s-name/1965393/As for sports logos, here are some old logos from the old league that maybe could get put up on the logo site under past conferences.

RyanB06 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 For the teams they'll have in the old big east they might as well call it the Little EastThere already is a Little East Conference, in Division 3.

illwauk Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I kind-of-sort-of suggested this in the Pointless Realignment thread and thought they should fill out their ranks with other schools in large southern cities to get to an even 12, and split the division based on who actually spent time in the original Metro. Bold are teams from the original Metro, asterisks are next to teams that aren't in the current conference.TempleConnecticutHoustonSMUGeorgia State*Old Dominion*TulaneSouth FloridaMemphisLousivilleCincinnatiCharlotte*Storrs is a metropolis, for sure.They still have a presence in two Top 10 media markets, which is increasingly the only thing that matters in college athletics. If nothing else, they can play the role the Gamecocks did in the original conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Is the Big East name still going to be used for the current football conference or will they have to change?

illwauk Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The Catholic 7-plus-2 won the rights to the Big East name and history, so presumably, the football conference will have to change its name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I assume change but the Missouri Valley Football Conference is separate from the other Missouri Valley Conference is memory serves me right.The Rump East is going to play together in other sports as well as football, so if nothing else, that is where they need a new name.

Jaybird Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 My choice of schools for the new conference would be the 11 schools that will be in the new conference (Cincinnati, UCONN, S. Florida, C. Florida, Houston, Memphis, SMU, Temple, Tulane, Navy*, E. Carolina*), plus these three schools: Southern Miss (from C-USA), Tulsa (C-USA), and Army Football independent, Patriot League other sports)**-football only schools under the old Big East PlanFor football, there would be two 7 team divisions:East: Army, C. Florida, E. Carolina, Navy, S. Florida, Temple, UCONNWest: Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, SMU, Southern Miss, Tulane, TulsaBasketball: Army and Navy would remain in the Patriot League, so basketball could either be a 12-team league with no divisions or have 2 6 team divisions as follows:East: C. Florida, Cincinnati#, E. Carolina+, S. Florida, Temple, UCONN #-Cincinnati would be in the East Division for basketball, West Division for football+-East Carolina would be a full member for all sports in the conference, however, if they choose, they could pick another conference for Olympic Sports, and either a non-football school would join or the league could make do with 11 teams for basketball.West: Houston, Memphis, SMU, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa Atlanta Braves, please bring back the Indian Head logo.

DaytonBlue Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think they should add UMass and call it a day. It would give them another NE team to make travel a little easier. 10 schools for non-FB and they can play round robin, 12 for FB and they can have a championship game.If I were in charge of this league, I would try to get a grant-of rights agreement signed ASAP because if the B1G raids the ACC, the ACC will raid the "Metro" and it will fall apart real fast.
