They could have done worse, I suppose. Good thing they skipped the number.

I'm just glad we aren't the "new Big east" anymore. We are the Big East!

And I'm a little insulted that the AAC is still tweeting under the @BigEastMBB twitter handle.

Probably doing that because of spring athletics.

AAC sounds like someone is choking.

Oh wait. It's all the schools in that Gawdforsaken league!

Huh, there's already an AAC in the NAIA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachi ... Conference

Will that mean they can't brand with AAC in their logo? They obviously aren't going to go with AA Conference, you would think.

Better than America-12 but I still liked Metro....whatever.

Big East Conference ‏@BigEastConf 20m
For those asking, the conference intends to emphasize "The American" as its brand, not an acronym.

lol

AAC and ACC. Somehow similar and vastly different. Conspiracy theorists are rejoicing. "The American" Terrible. Take a lap. In fact, take two.

Seems like pretty much the same branding concept they used when they started Conference USA.
