So the law firm Covington & Burling, who represents the Big East, registered America12.com on Tuesday? Interesting.
 
Wow, what a shitty name. They should just invite a few more garbage programs and name themselves the Big 14 and try to blend in with the Big 10 and Big 12 and have people think they are a decent conference.

Yahoo sports noted that "Mediocre Dozen and A Shell of its Former Self are probably not best for marketing..." (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/schools-used-big-east-reportedly-might-patriotic-conference-190411319--ncaaf.html) :) :) :) :)

Didn't there use to be a Big America Conference?

Perfect!!! And best of all, it is a name that UConn and Cincy fans can feel at home with!!!

Uconn and Cincy would bolt the new conference in a NY minute! Both university presidents have made further pitches to the ACC.
As for their new home, since Aresco lives in Connecticut I am betting CT but would not be surprised if their tournament is held in Memphis because of its central location and easy flight connections as opposed to Hartford. I think Houston, SMU, Tulane, East Carolina, Memphis, UCF and USF and possibly Tulsa would not relish having their fans travel to depressing downtown Hartford in March.

My money would be on Orlando for their tourney. They can offer their fans a really warm climate with attractions for the family. It would not be too far for most of them to reach...even by car in most cases.

Yes, a distinct possibility but Orlando does not have an Elvis mansion!
 
Forget about the conference's name, I'm concerned that there aren't enough question marks in the thread title.

looks like, America 12 or American 12... sounds like another A10 or Conference USA league, but we already knew this.

Totally agree. When I look at that name I think A 10. They would be better off going with something like "United American Conference" or United 12 Conference.
