The old Big East has decided on a new name. Instead of the great, great option of Conference Scott, the presidents have agreed on the American Athletic Conference, AAC for short. Dan Wolken just tweeted that the preferred name for the league will be "The American."
The AAC is a million times better than the America 12. The American is something that I could get use to, although they just said that will be the brand and not the ackronym. AAC, the American, it doesn't matter. I just didn't want the A12. Conference Scott though, it really got the shaft.
I asked a source how they felt about the new league name. They replied "That's whack."
The league might have just announced the name, but they already released a league wide fight song that will play before the national anthem at every conference game.
