Posted by Bixby23 on 8/6/2007, 5:55 pm, in reply to "Re: league name change " But more importantly, WAC is cool, despite the annoying tendency to always show up at the bottom of alphabetized lists (keep scrolling...). "WAC" sounds western and wild. "PAC" sounds pacifistic and puny, even with Berzerkeley and the University of Spoiled Children. And as the Western Athletic Conference, having a member from Louisiana is eccentric in a quasi-Western sorta way and allows us to claim at least a couple of WAC-SEC head-to-head battles each season, even if we constantly get our butts kicked. As the PAC-12 or whatever, having a team from Louisiana would just mean we suck at geography (but the Big-10 has 11 teams, so if it's OK to suck at math...) --Previous Message--

I dunno, aj. Since PAC, unlike big, is a genuine acronym that stands for Pacific Athletic Conference, sjs81 is probably right that they could stop such a move.
