I have no issue with the conferences with now-inaccurate names not changing their names. They are brands and corporations; the name is not the important thing. Perhaps a little short-sighted of them to have chosen a number-based name in the first place lo those many years ago, but **shrug** that's what we've got to work with now. I mean, the Big East is moving away from the East, and the Big 10 no longer has 10 teams. I can see how we got here, even if it looks a little odd now.
I just am not thrilled about them letting in schools that don't really suit the identity of the conference; and doing it for financial reasons, not reasons of conference reputation. (Thankfully Maryland and Rutgers are both good academic schools.)
But I did not study broadcast journalism, business, or sports management; I suppose this is not my area of expertise.
