Terrible. I wonder if they forced a name to start with "A" so they come up first on the "select conference" pull downs and pages. Trying to think of what else they could've done to assure the same.

That name is going to sound silly when they add Oxford. There goes their chance to re-brand as a rugby conference.

Oxford would never join...Cambridge maybe...but never Oxford!! Plus they would be re-branding as a rowing conference...

Aardvark Conference?

Aaaaaamerica 12 would have been just as good. They would be first in the Yellow Pages.

Well, they got the America part right.

Big East Sun Beast America 12 ‏@misfits
In a ground-breaking move, the America 12 Conference has announced their attention become the first collegiate conference in the country to have an official song. All universities in the conference must play the song before games when the home team first enters the field of play, especially pukon.

The "Random 12 Conference" would make more sense.

I just assumed Oxford was a natural choice given all the Rhodes Scholars pumped out by ECU & Memphis. ;-)

Don't forget Tulsa!!

Since they have a bunch of MAC level schools, how about Directional America Conference.

You know what happens when you put lipstick on a steaming turd...you've still got a steaming turd. Good luck boys, you're gonna need it. Spend that $100 mil wisely.

The comments on the ESPN link are great

My bucket list:

#481 – Take kids trick or treating in Juarez, Mexico
#482 – Attend an America 12 game
#483 - Crush a testicle riding a bike


Dear Big East,

Please don't take us down with you.

Sincerely,

America


"Uhhh, where are we?"
"Merica."
"How many teams we got?"
"12."
"Merica 12?"
"Gitrdone."

They can have divisions like...
'First to go' and 'Leaving Next'

Were lifetime rights granted for the USFL and the WLAF? Because either are very good fits.

Appendix Conference. Completely superfluous and would not be missed if gone.

Maybe they can compete for the Short-Timers Cup. The conference champ each year gets invited to a real conference.

Shocking they didn't learn from the Big 12, Big Ten, and Pac-whatever that using a number in your conference name has the potential to make you look sort of silly.

Especially considering they'll be 10 teams in 2013 and 2014.

Strategic planning is not a strength for the Sunbeast brass.
