PAC-10 to be renamed the PAC-12

[huskerfan711]

Don't have a link or anything concrete yet...

 

But it was just announced on SportsCenter on ESPN that when Colorado and Utah join the PAC-10 that the conference would be renamed to the PAC-12

 

Wonder if the big 12 will consider a name change? Maybe UT and the 9 blind mice or something similar... haha

Maybe the Big 12 will become the Texas 10.

Maybe the Big 12 will become the Texas 10.

Or DeLoss Dodds and the conference of misfit teams

i guess the pac10 brand isn't as rock-solid as the big ten brand...and i'm just fine with that.

This isn't a good idea. I think it's inevitable that there will eventually be 16 team super conferences which is going to force the PAC 10 to change its name once again.

The Big 12 will have to change its name, because the Big Ten isn't... And we can't well have the "Ten" have 12 and the "12" have 10. The Big 12 then cannot become the Big 10 because we already have the Big Ten. It will probably become the Placeholder Conference.

 

As for the PAC-10, it is good that they are becoming the PAC-12, because in due time, they will become the PAC-16... Which will be easy to do since they would have had no attachment to the PAC-12.

One of the high schools I taught at was involved in forming a new conference.

They had a contest to name it. Two rules: 1) No geography names and 2) No numbers.

Unimaginatively "Cornhusker Conference" won.

 

I wanted "Succotash Conference" (nothin' but (soy)beans and corn)

[HuskerBruin]

I still prefer "12-Pac" (not to be confused with 2-Pac).

Why not change the Big 12 to the Big 10 and the Big 10 to the Big 12 to keep in line with the number of teams? Brand names aside, its not like people wont know who is who. Just be weird to have a conference with 10/12 teams called the Big 12/10. They wont, but just saying if the Pac-10 is doing it...

I don't want my conference within 10 feet of that tainted name, it did nothing but screw everything up since it manifested. No thanks! I am not against a name change for the conference and am perfectly fine with keeping it the Big Ten. If they do rename I would hope they do not continue a numerical title (plan for the inevitable).

I don't want to leave the Big 12, only to join the Big 12

 

 

They just need to stop using numbers

[cHUSKERis]

Just wondering, the big conferences are...

 

ACC

SEC

Big 12

Big 10

Big East

Pac-10

 

Cant think of anymore off the top of my head. Thats 3 with "Big" in their names. Big 10 could become the Northeastern Conference (not sure if there is one already) Big 12 could become the Central State Conference, just throwing out ideas lol. If they do insist on using numbers, make sure another conference doesn't share the first part of you name... the Pac-10(12) can add any number of teams.

Big Mid West? - BMW for short.
