Name the new Big Ten conference

[MililaniBuckeye]

If we do expand to 12, 14 or 16 teams, what then do we call our conference? With only 11 members, we can get away with keeping the "Big Ten" moniker with the clever way we have the "11" incorporated into the logo, but 12 or more makes that less feasible. Do we have a number in the name (e.g., "Big 16"), or do we get regional with it ("Big Midwest")? Do we even keep the word "Big" in it? What say ya'll?

If you add Texas, Texas A&M & Missouri, you can go by the # of states. If you add ND & an east squad, you can keep the Big T/Eleven logo.

I vote for expanding to 20 teams and calling it the Big Tens.

"Ohio State n'Nem"?

Not sure about the conference name, but I have a slogan ready to go.

When Michigan sucks this much, it takes more states to keep us from falling ALL IN.

Heartland Conference.

If a Texas team don't join, how about the "Heartland Conference"

Or better yet, Ohio State and Them....

Looks like I was beat to it

The Big Ten and Friends

The Two Sixpacks (if 12)

Mili got it - The New Big Ten

The Two Sixpacks plus two roadies (if 14)

An extrapolation on Jwins idea:

The Big 10 States

...but still dependent on the final number of states involved being ten

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

I think we should call it "Dave"

 

[Smooth Olaf]

I say we only add a twelfth team and call it the Big 11. That'll really piss off some people.

I say we only add a twelfth team and call it the Big 11. That'll really [censored] off some people.

There are three kinds of big ten fans:

• those who can count
• those who can't

For a sixteen team league...
