It's pretty shortsighted to make the number of teams in a conference part of the name. I wonder if the Pac-12 is contemplating a name change.

This type of mistake is not isolated to athletic conferences. Motel 6 originally charged $6 per night. The founders of Super 8 didn't learn the lesson. When 7-Eleven opened for business it was unusual to open so early and stay open so late. Now they are 24-Seven. Has anyone gone into a Dollar Store lately and expected everything to be priced at $1?

Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.
