Would have been fun to combine the urban/suburban schools from the old Big East and CUSA 1.0. Let BC,UConn, WVU & Va Tech go to ACC. Would have been a fun league.
UAB
Charlotte
Cincinnati
Houston
Louisville
Memphis
Miami
Pittsburgh
USF
Syracuse (or Tulsa)
Temple
TCU
Would have been a lot of fun in hoops and football. What a pity it'll never happen.
USF, Syracuse, Temple and TCU are not named after cities. They can't fit.
Cal.-Los Angeles is a hyphened school.
Some schools already dropped the state from their name.
Little Rock
Chattanooga
Milwaukee
I could see some drop as well like Mankato State, Pueblo State, Martin, San Antonio, El Paso and so forth.
Cal-Davis is an AAU school and is in the schools with UCLA.
Cal-Poly, SLO or Cal-Tech, SLO is something to look at.
A lot of people outside of California don't use Cal. State schools that way. We always will call them Fresno State, Sacramento State, Fullerton State, San Diego State and so forth to make them different from each other.
It is like New York. People rather call them Buffalo, Stony Brook, Albany and all that. It makes them different from each other calling them that way instead of SUNY.
UAB could be called University of Birmingham.
