The Big Ten announced the two division names. I look forward to dominating the "Leaders" division. :lol:

That is really bad.

At least it really doesn't matter.

Is there a "2" in those logos that I should be made aware of?

"The Big Ten champion will receiver the Stagg-Paterno Trophy. The MVP of the game will receive the Grange-Griffin trophy."

It's a good thing it doesn't matter because the names and divisions couldn't be worse. No one is going to discuss "Penn State and Wisconsin are in a virtual deadlock in the Leaders division setting up to play Northwestern in the Legends"

Nope... the logo is supposed to look like a "10" in the word "BIG". But that's kinda worthless because it already says TEN. The old logo with the eleven was actually kinda cool. This one... not so much. And as far as the division names goes... I think I just swallowed a bit of throw-up.

Except for the Butkus-Fitzgerald Trophy ;)

Sorry... that one sucks too.

Those are embarrassing names for the divisions. Nice work using the Burger King font on the logo too.

On M&H this morning, Delaney cited Va. Tech as a specific reason as to why they didn't use geographic/regional names for the new divisions (such as directions or "lakes" and "plains" etc.).

Couple things:

1. I think the names of the ACC divisions are probably the best examples out there right now. They are somewhat non-traditional (not just directions), but they also work in the actual names used in the conference - Atlantic and Coastal.

2. He said Va Tech is a mountain school - true it's not on the coast. But who cares? The name of the division doesn't change anything about the school, their sports teams, or their divisional alignment. The state that the university is located in is an atlantic coast state.....similar to the way that East Lansing isn't on a lake, but safe to say that Michigan is a Great Lakes state.

He did make some good points as well about other things, I just thought it was odd that he specifically mentioned Va Tech as a reason they went with Leaders and Legends. (Bad).

IMO - "Leaders" and "Legends" is probably the worst named divisions in all of sports that I am aware of. Way worse than the Rams being "west" or Cowboys being "east".

I thought during transition on the Score today, Bernstein brought up a good point, that they may have done this for when the Big 10 decides to expand again.

So now Jim Delaney is reconsidering the names?
