New conference name

[corncraze]

OK so this is a bit of a contest. Since the big 10 now has 22 teams we absolutely need to change names. Now we don't no how big our conference will be, but the main thought is it'll get to 16 teams. So who on this board can come up with the most creative name for our new conference?

There is already one of these threads on here. There is already to many expansion threads saying the same thing the way it is.

"The University of Chicago was a co-founder of the conference and still maintains affiliation through the Committee on Institutional Cooperation"

You can be a member even if you have NO athletic programs??

Hey, Iowa State . . .

Hey, mods - how about a merge-a-thon?

16 teams--- Super 16

14 teams--- The Fearsome 14

12 teams--- The Tenacious 12

Honestly, Im reaching way out their. It will prob still be called the Big 10, because of tradition. But that didnt stop the Big 12 either.

No longer a member means???? Maintains affiliation???? I don't get the confusion.

They don't get the measley $22 million for athletics, but do share in the $200 Billion CIC monies.

And NOT as a member of the BIG TEN.

Heard a trucker on Sirius radio suggest the "Big 10-4".

If the Big 10 has a rep for being slow and big, the semi-truck reference works too, i think.

Can't be the Big 16 as that is currently copyrighted by a Canadian company. Can't remember what they produce but that's out of the question. If the Big Ten only goes to 14 teams the Big 14 is owned by the Big 12.
