**** yeah.

Conference America?

.... .. .Like C USA, Jr?

But I can't think of a better, more appropriate name. Maybe the "National Conference" then we can for football brand ourselves as the NFC, for Baseball, be the NL, and for basketball... Well, we can play basketball. (yes, this suggestion is made purely in jest).

I have always liked the idea of the National Athletic Conference. It would help our perception as being mentioned among the American Athletic Conference.

RE: Sun Belt Name Change
I like most names that have "Southern" in them. Might as well name this conference after us to 04-cheers

If we want to keep the "Belt"... How about the "Bible Belt Conference" - of course we would have to take Liberty right off the bat. Which I'm ok with, mostly.

Southern Coast Conference. With the exception or Ark State (unless I'm overlooking sombody). Every program is currently from a State that borders the coast either on the Southern our Southern East Coast. I suppose any new members would still be "Southern" teams.

South East Conference (Let the SEC fans lose their minds 05-stirthepot )
We could chant SEC right back at them when we pull off the upsets as IF we are claiming to win the "SEC"!

Conference South Eastern ? Rimshot

South Eastern Athletic Conference (SEAC)

This is fun..... How many days to kickoff?

RE: Sun Belt Name Change
I get this thread and will play along. We all understand changing our name to some version of AAA only helps on the bottom line sticker about once every hour when the conference scores are run alphabetically. All the rest of the time it is run about P5 and top 25 schools.

The American South absorbed the SBC and promptly got rid of the AMS records and name because the SBC had a longer and better history.

The best way to change perception is simple. Win more non conference games. Be very competitive in more non conference games is nice but that won't get anyone thinking yea this is an improving conference. Get a much better TV deal. It isn't all about money, but more about visibility.

Get our basketball coaches to quit worrying about their six figure jobs and schedule stronger.

Improve our facilities so we get more kids who have open views on where they are going to play.

No... The Prime 11.

We could have Euclid be the "mascot" of the conference.

Get it? Because we are indivisible! NOBODY CAN DIVIDE US!!!!!!!*

If not the island of misfit toys, I always thought of the Belt as being a collection . . .

If we drop Idaho & NMSU, I say we call ourselves....

The Texas-Appalachian conference... T&A conference. After all, then the conference spans from Texas to the Appalachians.

Hey why don't we rename this board to "Make Fun of the Sun Belt Board"? Why do I find no humor in this constant exorcise in humility? It does build good will. Makes me wanna whip yr arses even more. 04-cheers
