Is there really any value in keeping the "Big East" brand especially for football?

Danke, Der Furhrer Zuma James....... No need to get snarky. As a matter of fact, I think the name will not be changed, at least not in the short term. AzWm |

The name is not changing.
But it should. It's now a misnomer AND has the stigma of being a s#!++y football conference.

People on other forums always make fun of it. How's a TV commentator gonna say "San Diego" and "Big East" in the same sentence without busting out laughing? Yes. The name isn't changing. James, I agree they aren't gonna change it, but how do you know the name isn't changing? Any inside info you'd care to share (or a sliver thereof)? Because it is a brand that has recognition. You think the basketball schools are going to be ok with throwing away the name of the best basketball conference in the nation? The BE name still implies BCS, right or wrong. Like FM said, conference names stopped making sense a LONG time ago. There no inside info needed, the BE has said repeatedly that the name isn't changing. |

You can't change it for one and not the other. It's no more of a joke than the B1G, Big 12-2, Pacific mountain 12, etc... |

I would argue that changing the name at this point in time would only serve to further damage the perception of the current football members. The only way that stigma is going to be eliminated is by BE teams proving they can hold their own against the other "BCS" conference teams on the field |
