What would/should 'Big 10' change name to w/ 12th member?

[dl90hawk]

A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Ron Zook

 

[racerhawk]

I am lucky! I forgot one

Overdeserving Bowl Bids Conference (kind of long but I think it works!)

Jealous.

Perhaps Nebraska would like to join the big ten, leaving the B12 North with even fewer "assets."

 

[Icarus]

I dont think they change it at all.

I agree. I don't think they will change it and I hope they don't. The Big 10 is the Big 10, even if it has 74 teams. The number has been off for what, two decades already anyway, so why worry now?

 

[Mac50702]

I got it the best name ever... THE BIG 10

 

[GodGodGodBathia]

Yeah they won't change it. Too much money.

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

How about..."Not that Big 12..."

 

[bigelevenhawk]

I want them to keep it "Big 10."
They would have to rework the logo however.

 

[ThunderHawk]

Bigger Ten.

 

[highonhawks]

The Throwback conference

 

[jameskalina]

How about the "Iowa Hawks and the Little Eleven"?

Seriously, it will be hard to top "The Big Ten" for a name.

 

[GodGodGodBathia]

More importantly would there be a conf. championship game?

 

[Hooper]

The GIANT 12

 

[ThCatch]

The Big MAC...

Yes, but McD's would make us split the bowl money 13 ways...

the Heartland Athletic Conference

I was on board with this one until I realized "HAC" sounds like something the cat would do...

Re: it's going to be BIG TEN

it will still be:

BIG TEN
​

 

[bws258]

think of ten as a word, more than a number

from Webster's
Main Entry: ten
Pronunciation: \ˈten\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English tīene, from tīen, adjective, ten; akin to Old High German zehan ten, Latin decem, Greek deka
Date: before 12th century
1 ...
5 : one deserving the highest rating ...

 

[GodGodGodBathia]

How about...The Nice 12 Conference

 

[egami]

The artist formerly known as the Big Ten Conference.

 

[ThunderHawk]

The Big Ten and the two add ons.

 

[Jonesy86]

In all seriousness I'd rather it stay Big10. It's been an inaccurate title for..what?.. 15 years already, so let the tradition continue. It can just be a little cork of ours.

Besides that, they'd have to change the network to.. Heartland Network?? If I saw that on a TV guide I'd think it's about hunting, fishing and farming. No thanks.

 

[GodGodGodBathia]

My offer still stands...the nice twelve
