I really don't think they will change the name... way to much name brand value (particularly in basketball). If the the Big 10 can have 12 teams and the SEC have teams that are midwest and the PAC 12 have teams that are in the Mountains and the Big 12 can only have 10 teams the Big East can be a national conference.

Something like this but with the Big East Logo on the inlaid on top of the map... or maybe they redesign the Big East logo... new/modern lettering etc...

You do realize we have a few more basketball teams than you depicted on your map, right?

They're actually in the Big East, too.

Obviously, this logo is for FB only. I don't know what the modifications to the end logo will be or if they will have one for basketball and one for FB or work the logo to be all encompassing... we'll see. Just relaying what Mike Aresco had mentioned. I do like this idea of including the USA map into the logo though.

True...but the above MAP was posted by a SDSU fan...who's team will be a FOOTBALL only member in the Big East...hence why that poster probably just included Big East Football members.

I know. Just giving him a hard time. When I think of the BE, I don't think only of football. Not gonna be a logo with less than half the conference in it, and I doubt seriously that football and basketball will have different anythings.

Aresco stated yesterday that there will NOT be a name change. As I have said before, all the logo needs is to be enclosed with an outline of the continental US (no state boundaries or team logos).

It seems so simple and obvious. I hope they do it.
