Since the 10 and 12 numbers are virtually meaningless in each conference’s name, yet nothing has happened to change it, what do you think it will take for either of those conferences to rebrand? Possibly a brand that doesn’t have a number in the name so future expansion/contration doesn’t make the name meaningless.
Or is there too much equity in each of the brands that they wouldn’t want to give up?
The Big Ten has already worked towards rebranding with its “B1G” logo.
Not sure the whole name will change any time soon, but the primary logo has. You can easily see the logo as “B1G” as day outside of its HQ building as you drive along the north bound Tri-State near O’Hare Airport.

So, if the Big 12 adds 4 teams… think they will rebrand? Big 14? Or find a new name that doesn’t include a Number?
The Big 10 will keep its “branding” as their previous logos all bear some semblance of the B10 regardless if they go to 16 or 20
B1G is just a capital B with a 1 (looking like an I ) and a G resembling a form of an 0.
Not certain what the Big12 will do … they can have butterflies and puppy dog tails spelling out XII for all we care … just as long the conference remains a P5 and is allowed in the playoffs.
