That has to be the saddest choice for a name ever. I was expecting them to revive the old Metro Conference at least. No, now this conference can be confused with the A-10 for the rest of its petty existence. I will not miss them in the least.
Bringing back the Metro would have been cool. I wonder if some entity still owns the name? I wouldn't have passed to CUSA, would it?
Calling it something like The Coastal Conference might have worked; outside of Cinci ,aren't most of the schools kinda near a coast (Atlantic or Gulf)?
