Big East reported to change name to America 12...

[Wolverine1997]

Since the "Catholic 7" will retain the Big East name, the current Big East with UConn and all the other misfit toys coming in like houston and SMU are looking for a new name.

Apparently they are going to become the America 12 per reports. I guess it makes sense since the term East doesn't apply to half the schools in the league, but still. It seems so Delaney-like.

Y! SPORTS

Looks like the leading candidate to host their tournament is Hartford. Nothing against Hartford, but it isn't the Garden.

Hope ND is out of the soon.

Apparently they could open their name to being chosen by social media
