RE: Suggest conference names
I vote for Big Metro Conference (word "Big" readily identified with successful college athletic conferences and gets attention) or Big Metro+ Conference (with + signifying current or future not large based metro schools like East Carolina)

(2) The footprint is completely within the eastern half of the continental US

(3) Distinguishes us from the "Mountain WEST"

(4) It 's a simple, straightforward, easily remembered name, not an easy target for ridcule

If SEC, ACC and MWC work, why won't EAC? What we DON"T need is a name with a number or such as "metro" which suggests commuter schools

Metro East Conference (MEC)

RE: Suggest conference names
As much as I despise the tendency in recent years for people to try to be hip and use "league" instead of "conference", maybe we ought to play off of that trendiness.

I don't know . . . Eastern and Gulf League = "The Eagle"

Nah, I don't like that.

I don't like using plain "Eastern" because Memphis, New Orleans, Houston, and Dallas aren't places that pop into one's mind when they hear the word "east". Orlando and Tampa not so much either. Heck, not even Cincinnati.

I've kind of decided I don't like "National" either. It sounds like we're stretching too much, trying to claim undeserved grandeur.

I had one in mind years ago instead of the stupid name "Conference USA", but I can't recall it. It was geographic. It seems like it had a prefix or first word that meant "half".

The Semi-Continental Conference, the SCC!!!

(no, just kidding, it wasn't that)

Maybe a prefix or first word that conveyed "broad" or "expansive" would work.
