Welcome to the Big XII

And this is why we wonder why insurance rates are so high........

Given my puckish sense of humor, if Yormark is considering corporate sponsorships, so can everyone else. Here are some "modest" examples:

AAC: The Alcoholics Anonymous Conference (funding questionable);
ACC: The Ambulance Chasers Conference (funded by the plaintiffs bar, less 33%);
Big 10: The Atlantic City B1G Bingo Conference (funded by a portion of the Golden Nugget's profits);
Big 12: The One-A-Day Vitamin B12 Conference (funded by Big Pharma);
MAC: The Kraft MAC & Cheese (funded, unfortunately, by every grandparent in the US);
SEC: The Securities and Exchange Commission Sports Conference (funded by the US taxpayer; Greg Sankey would insist).

[Sorry about that. Back to reality.]

Maybe time to get rid of the 12 too. The AllState XVI makes sense.

A lot of people on the birdsite pointed that out. I think the reason for not fixing that is that everything with the XII logo would have to go in the trash.

Ross Delenger at Yahoo Sports is reporting that the Big XII is ditching the Big part of its name and selling the naming rights for the entire conference.

Looks like I need to rename this thread to the Allstate XII

I am not sure if this is a circus show or a comedy act.
