Regardless of whether we pull Butler into this new conference, I think we need to avoid names regarding Catholicism. 

Agree, and I actually see merit in bringing Butler and VCU just to not have all Catholic schools.  Not sure there are any legal problems, but being seen as the "exclusively Catholic" conference could be a recruiting issue as well-most of our players (at least for basketball) are probably not Catholic, and you don't want to create any perception among the 16 year old prospective student athletes in any sport that Catholic Conference schools don't really want you if you're not Catholic.

The big 16. Just to spite the big 10 when they finally learn to count.

To borrow a local HS conference, my suggestion: "Classic 8".   if needed, you amend the number.

The schools are all traditional, classic basketball schools.

The Traditional Conference.  Bo Ryan would be so excited he might actually leave UW to take a gig in it!

Is there any chance we can affiliate this league with Jordan Brand?  I mean... telling a kid he can play in the Jordan League would be great. 

Why stop there? Let's  team with McDonald's and call the conference the Big N' Tasty.

I have always thought that it was cool that the NHL divisions had real names (Norris, Prince of Wales) instead of directions (East, Central).  Why couldn't our new conference take the same approach?

I'm thinking....I don't know....The McGuire conference?

In the alternate....The Gavitt Conference.

If the form of the conference ends up as a National conference with all of the top basketball-only (incl Gonzaga & St. Mary's) schools, I think the name "Coast to Coast Conference" would fit quite well.  It would emphasize the National scope of the conference (plus "Coast to Coast" is a recognized basketball phrase)...

I don't know about a conference name.  But we should start our own network, something of the like Games On Demand, or GOD for short.

The Big Seven. Seriously.

The beauty is, it doesn't matter how many teams we have. The Big Ten might eventually end up with 48 teams, for all we know.

(OK, only kind of seriously.)

I am on board for a name that denotes excellence and/or exclusivity.

The Elite Conference?

hmmm, as previously suggested by someone- the National Basketball Conference= NBC,
or the National Elite Conference..., or the Big National Conference. 
In all sincerity, I wouldn't mind 'the New Big East.
