The Immensely Big Valley

[Dubl R 1]

Rather than (or in addition to ) renaming the conference, how about bulking up the quality even further by showing Evansville (and one of the ISUs :-o )the door and bringing in SLU and Butler?

As much as this idea scares me I think it's a good idea, I don't know if it would ever happen, but as far as legitimizing the MVC, it would go a long way.

I would sign on for replacing Evansville and Indiana State with SLU and Butler. That would be a nice trade!

yeah, that really doesn't sound too bad.

The problem is that Butler didn't even win their conference. They finished second to a team BU beat by 40 points. If Butler was in the MVC they'd probably be middle of the road. They are incredibly overrated this year. BU has beaten every team Butler has lost to.

I think a name change would be a great first step to changing our image.

The Big Valley or the Great Midwestern Conference sounds great.

I agree...the Great Midwest or Big Midwest, smoeone send an e mail to Mr. Elgin!

I'm a traditionalist and would not want a name change.

However, a branding campaign is desperately needed. I'd try to brand something simple like.......................

I'm with you B4L. I was just trying to be funny in my earlier post.

Yeah I don't really advocate a name change... especially since all the logos basically emphasize the Valley part. The thing I think should be the focus is that when the Big Ten network starts up that the conference make ever possible effort to get their ESPN and FS time.

Packer just called the Mountain West the "Big Mountain" on CBS. We need to get Big in the name somewhere.
