(1) Because there is a great deal of tradition in conference names having geographic reference (SouthEASTERN Conference, ATLANTIC COAST Conference, Big EAST Conference, Mountain WEST Conference, PACIFIC COAST Conference, etc)

(2) Because we have Big EAST roots

(3) Because every school is within the EASTern 1/2 of the continental US. EASTern 1/4th of the US if Hawaii and Alaska are counted

(4) Because "EAC" sounds classier and more collegiate than rinky-dink crap like "Metro", "Big America", "C-USA", etc.

Isn't EAC already used for Hockey or something like that.
