Why not "Eastern Athletic Conference" or "EAC" for short?
(1) Until last week we thought it would be "The Big EAST" (even when San Diego State and Boise State were in).
(2) The footprint is completely within the eastern half of the continental US
(3) Distinguishes us from the "Mountain WEST"
(4) It 's a simple, straightforward, easily remembered name
If SEC, ACC and MWC work, why won't EAC? What we DON"T need is a name with a number or that will be made fun of (such as "metro" which screams commuter schools).
