Big-12 / Pac-12 possible merger

[bluestarcyclone]

I don’t know if this would be legal but with the way things work now and with the pageantry of college athletics now dying, why don’t we explore selling the name of the conference for a big ass check from Amazon, Apple, or whatever? The Amazon Conference or the Big West brought to you by Amazon. Do a deal with Amazon for tv rights and just own it. Seriously, I don’t love it but it would be worth potentially millions for every school, every year.

Hey size matters. If this merger goes through, we got the biggest one, period.

Why not? Everything else (like stadiums) are selling their naming rights to the highest bidder. Why not sell the conference name to someone like Amazon to put their name on it.

I hate that but it’s genius.

Third thread I've posted this on: Keep PAC, but it means: Pacific And Central. Throw some waves, mountains and growing grain graphics in the logo and you're good.

BIG PAC-age

That's what we call the broadcast rights package, for streaming etc.

I mean, isn't a little comical to keep "Pacific" in the conference name for a something that contain schools in... Iowa and Kansas?

I mean, there’s a Brooklyn in Iowa, so names that seem a little off kinda happen everywhere.

Totally agree. Sounds horrible. But the money is right there, if it’s legal.

It's not like the SEC hasn't sold their ruthless illegal-negotiating soul (assuming they had one) to ESPN for $$$. I can live with it.

 

[TXCyclones]

Yeah. I like that one too. Is there already a Big West? Or is that the West Coast? Big West sounds familiar.

One of Kanye's kids maybe?

I would love to go to away games if this happened. Watching ISU kick the crap out of USC in LA would be awesome

Third time's the charm.
I like it.

You want conference naming rights? Easy peasy.

Merge the PAC and Big 12, roll in the MWC and AAC, and lasso in a few independents (New Mexico State and BYU). Boom. 45 teams.

The Colt 45 (and two zig-zags).

See post #12. You're exactly right. The connotation being that the conference is comprised of the best from the Missouri river to the Pacific Ocean. It's perfect.

Well I hope from the Mississippi river on west, but I smell what you're cooking.

The Pacific Conference of Extraordinary Higher Learning Institutions

Call it the PAP (Pacific and Plains, Pacific and Prairie, Pitiful and Punishing, . . .) however you want to annotate it .

 

[dualthreat]

We kicking West Virginia out then? Or are they going to try and travel nearly coast to coast for every sporting event all year long

I like your style

Throw in a goddam American Bald Eagle and become "America's Conference".

If you love America then you love America's Conference. The PAC. Yesterday, today, and forever

We would smear that conference.

 

[Thorongil Clone]

It seems unoriginal to me and if it's unoriginal it might as well be called the Pacific 20, which I honestly like.

Big West just seems like a combo of Mtn West and Big East, meh...

How about the Wild West?
