We became the Red Storm so that we would no longer offend the Indians. However, nothing has been more offensive than the Red Storm.

We should consider calling it the       BIG EAST / WEST          That retains the equity of the Big East brand while accommodating the the current and future expansion of the league.

How about "Big TV" or "Big Money" conference since that is what brought it about.  even better--sell the naming rights and become the "Big Citibank Conference" or the "United Airlines Conference" with each team getting a couple of million per year.

On the bright side, the Big East name would be available if there were to be a split.

Silly, uneeded and ultimately damaging move.
There is no conference name as iconic as The Big East. And sports in the 21st century is all about branding.

I agree, and I can't imagine the new guy doesn't know this. It was the interim guy saying this, right?
