Bad Idea Jeans: Conference Re-Naming

If you’ve ever debated which NCAA conference has the gayest name — well, debate no more. It is now settled.
The Mid-Continent Conference is being tossed on the ashbin of history. As of June 1, it is now called The Summit League.
The Summit League. Sounds like the name of a rec volleyball league.
Yeah, “Mid-Continent” wasn’t the best name and it definitely wasn’t accurate seeing as how member schools range from Utah to Michigan, but what the hell is “The Summit League” supposed to evoke?
They should have renamed it “The Alphabet League”. Think about it, they’ve got some of the best initialed schools in the NCAA. IUPUI, IUPUFW, SUU, UMKC, NDSU, SDSU.
There’s still time, Mid-Continent.
