Those are the divisions. Plus a new powder Blue Logo for the Big Ten...not a fan of any of it.

Why can't it just be east and west?

Because the divisions arent geographic. I think Rustbelt and Heartland would have worked.

7. Most pro sports divisions aren't geographic either
Like Dallas in the NFC East for example. But they still call them that.

These names are just stupid.

15. NHL
Redwings are in the western division; that's really not geographically accurate either.

6. not a fan of division names, but like the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy
I don't see it happening, but it would be pretty cool for Paterno to win his own trophy.

11. What an embarrassment..
Reminds me somewhat of the NHL's Prince of Wales and Clarence Campbell Conferences, which the NHL eventually had to change to their present Eastern Conference and Western Conference. They gave different reasons for the change, but a lot of it was because people outside of real NHL fans had a hard time figuring what team was in what conference due to the lack of a geographic reference in the names. Folks were having a great time making fun of the names as well...I have a feeling we are going to see something similar here too.

So typical of the Big Ten. They think they're better than everyone else, why I don't know, and in doing so end up making fools of themselves..

The Pac-12's new divisions will be title North and South...as it should be.



Legend and Leaders :rofl:

Your arrogance is quite similar to the arrogance you rail on.

17. Hm.
Leaders? It's been how long since the Big Ten was relevant? What a stewpot full of arrogance.

18. It's never good to be dumb AND ugly...
Maybe one or the other, but both? So - I'm confused. Is it better to be a legend or a leader? And why can't a team be both?
