I would settle for either. What about something crazy like C2C (Coast to Coast)?

Art Bell for Commissioner!

Yep and play all of our games after midnight.

Genius. So now we have two fabulous conference names.

INSERT NAME Conference (INC)
Coast 2 Coast Conference (C2C)

We have a commissioner and a unique trademark (games after midnight). Our work here is done.

Would Metro+ or Big Metro+ work as a name? + understandably meaning Plus.

I like the first one, sounds good.

Eastern Athletic Conference is already in use in Massachusetts:

I don't think the Nat would be good mainly since that opens the door for constant ridicule with puns by the media and rival fans. NAT / gnat

I can see all the headlines and interviews now "The Nat swatted once again in non-conference play..."

A slight spin without the negative connotation...National Athletic Conference (NAC) - much better than anything with a number or America in the title, IMO.

I like the sound of the National Athletic Conference (NAC). I prefer something with Metro or Metropolitan, but I could live with the NAC.

NAC is good or Metro Sports Conference (MSC). 3 letter abbreviation is key.

Any name with "Athletic" in it makes me afraid to be a "Supporter"!

If we do Coast 2 Coast, can we get on one of those time traveler who we can pay to go back to the 80s to convince us we need a competent AD who understands the importance of building up the football program to position a slot in football conference or persuade FSU and Louisville to make football a Metro sport, tell Dana Kirk to be more discreet about paying Keith Lee and pay his damn taxes, tell Rex Dockery to ask for a different plane, say don't put money that Pyramid if they are gonna do it half-assed, and it would be better of we worked with the NFL hopefuls to build a new football stadium?
