The league organizers want to be referred to as the Basketball 7 instead of the Catholic 7. 8-) C7 sounds like a group on trial for something bad.
My guess is if they don't get the Big East name through negotiations the conference will be the Basketball 10 or the Basketball 12.

I hope none of those names happen. A conference plays more than just one sport.

Actually, I believe that the league organizers want to be referred to as the Big East.
How about the "Gold Seven"?
It will be the Big East.
Who is going to put up a fight against the Catholic 7 to keep the name?
Cincy and UConn are dying to get out. What, Tulane, is going to talk down some pols from Georgetown?
We've got history and money on our side.
Hopefully our women's soccer team can win the Basketball 12 Conference Championship next year.
I still like the Big Privates. Nothing like saying we are a Big Private member. Or UConn and Cincy saying they were screwed by the Big Privates. :D

There is something that just doesnt sit right with me when I think about womens sports playing in the Big Privates conference.
C7 is the name of the 2014 Corvette. Not a bad sponsorship opportunity.

Zero chance the conference will have a sport specific name.
Marquette & Others Conference.
Duh.
The MidCoast Confrence; Midwest + East Coast
If we don't get the BE name, which I'd suspect we will, I'd go with something City/Urban: Metro. Bring back the Metro conference or even Big City Collegiate Conference or Big City Metro Conference or something of the sort.
This will be marketed as a fanatical basketball conference; an urban, tough as nails league. Fans and teams crazed about basketball with a big city back drop... asphalt not grass... Name should reflect that image if we don't get the BE name.
GOLD Conference
Warriors.

The Urban League?
Oh wait, that's already being used......

That's only good if the ad demographic is dipshit rednecks.
We're going to have a conference name of "Basketball 7"....that's going to be awesome for the soccer program, track teams, volleyball, etc. ::)

The schools are going to be referred to as the "Basketball 7" during negotiations. That's it. It's not the name of the conference.

Assuming we don't get the Big East name, I'd suggest the following:
1.) Bring back the Metro Conference name
2.) There's something about "the City Conference" that sounds right
3.) "North" is the only cardinal direction not used by a "Big" Conference, and with teams on the East Coast and Midwest, "Big North" would seem to fit both of those.
Or...... We just keep the name, Big East.

The City Conference doesn't sound right at all...
