Big 12 new name options.

- Start date
It would set us up nicely for a transition into the Rehab Conference if things do fall apart in the future.
The Frontier 10 Conference.
The Pioneer 10 Conference.
The Buffalo 10 Conference.
The Wild West Conference.
The Sioux Conference.
Use some sort of historical factor that relates through all 5 states.

Stealing the name of the NAIA Conference that houses Northwestern, Dordt, Morningside, and Briar Cliff, the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) or some variation of that might not be a bad idea.
The name should be about corporate sponsorship or purely football focused. It's now a scientific fact that anything besides money and football is meaningless. The school that invented basketball got SHAT on and Nebraska got admitted to a league that supposedly cares about academic excellence. Either go with Insert Corporate Name Conference as others have mentioned or have a name that totally focuses on football.
Gridiron Athletics Conference
Gridiron Conference
Gridiron League of Universities
Any other football themed names people can think of? Seriously, someone tell me why any future plans for conference marketing should not be focused purely on football and money given the worthless status of Kansas basketball in conference realignment, and Nebraska now supposedly the Harvard of the midwest with it's legendary academic reputation.

Stick with the history of the Conf - Big 4, Big 6, Big 8, Big XII. I liked the idea of going to Big X.
Here are my ideas (some are even serious!)
Big Central
Big-35 (for I-35)
The Conference
The Big
Great Plains
Great Midwest (was already used by ex-Metro teams in MBB, but still sounds cool)
Sixtex Conference
IMKOT (state-by-state acronym, but it curtails expansion)
Texicana
The Human League

Seriously, what are they going to do with the conference name? My guess is that we will continue with the Big 12 name....with a different logo of course. (Something like the X in XII would be "bolded.")
What's up with the rumors of the Big 12 talking with the Arizona schools? UA/ASU? (I think I read something about it on CBS/ESPN about it....involving the new tv deal and all...extending offers to the AZ schools.) I guess that would obviously keep the "Big 12" name going if that came into play. Anyone else hear about this?
If "no" on the Big 12 name....what are they going to go with?
Big Midwest? (The BMW)
Big Central? (BCC)
Great Plains Conference?

I say we call it the Southwest Conference and add Arizona, Arizona State, USC, UCLA, Cal and Stanford. We get the last laugh on Larry Scott who didn't invite us and stick it to Colorado in the process. The Texas schools are happy because they get their old conference name back AND get to play the Pac 10 schools they wanted to play. The Big XII north schools are happy because they solidified their futures as BCS schools.
Who cares if KU/KSU/Mizzou and ISU aren't actually "in" the southwest
The only losers are UW and Oregon but we don't care about them anyways. Then, we laugh our way to the bank with all the new eyeballs driving up our new tv contract. :twitcy: Hey, I can dream can't I?Oil division

KU
KSU
ISU
Mizzou

No, add Boise State, all the Pac-10 schools that you mentioned, TCU, Notre Dame, and Arkansas and have 4 5-team divisions
Texas Division:Baylor, TTU, Tex A&M, TCU, Texas
North Division: Kansas, K-State, Missouri, ISU,ND
Sunbelt division:OK, Ok st, Ariz., ASU, Ark.
Pacific Division: Cal, Stanford, USC, UCLA, Boise State
Winners of each play a playoff to see who is the champion.
I like Jayhawkscotts idea of the oil division, keep the current 10 teams and call it the CornOil Conference for obvious reasons! :smile:
Why would you put coast or pacific of atlantic? I hope you're joking with these. Except for the Iowkantexlahoma, I like that one!
