Should be Big 12 not Big XII

[ketelmeister]

Dump the Roman numerals and get a number 12. Then go get BYU and Notre Dame.

Is that the problem? BYU and ND don't like roman numerals?

Catholics and Mormons are a picky bunch...

I think it should be Big X-II and that would be a hyphen not a minus sign

Don't forget we still have to deal with those Baptists in Waco too.

I prefer Big XII-ish.

Or how about the Big 12 what the Big 10 wishes they could be

I like Big ~XII

First I'm thinking that Roman Catholics - and therefore Notre Dame - would be big on roman numerals...

And, my suggestion for the Big 12 logo: BIG XII +/-

Interesting, since they just decided to stick with the "Big XII" logo (with roman numerals).

...or maybe: BIG circa XII

I actually got an email from the conference earlier in the year asking me to change references in my Big 12 basketball bracket generator from "Big XII" to "Big 12".

Wow, you must have made it big if the conference is sending you e-mails.

It's always been that way. The XII is for the logo only.

Yet every time I've sent emails to people in the conference asking them to clarify ambiguities in the tiebreak rules I've never gotten a response.

Actually, "Big XII" is easy to translate. Just try translating the Super Bowl number from Roman Numerals to plain english. They really need to change the Super Bowl Numbers to Plain English.

Do you mean plain English like "Super Bowl Forty-five" or do you mean arabic numerals like "Super Bowl 45"?

They should just change their name to the Big 11 and lil' red.
