while the game MVP will receive the Grange-Griffen award. Jeez. Can you seriously not pick a damn name for a trophy? This is even dumber than when CUSA split into the Red, White and Blue divisions right after it first started. At least they had the sense to realize after a couple of years that was dumb as hell and did away with it.

 

[jacksdawgs]

There is no way they could be that stupid.

The ACC tried this same crap after their expansion and has been beaten almost into irrelevancy. The divisions should be:<div>
</div><div>East:</div><div>Penn State</div><div>Ohio State</div><div>Michigan</div><div>Michigan State</div><div>Indiana</div><div>Purdue</div><div>
</div><div>West:</div><div>Illiinois</div><div>Northwestern</div><div>Wisconsin</div><div>Minnesota</div><div>Iowa</div><div>Nebraska</div><div>
</div><div>We can only hope the B1G T2n suffers the same fate as the ACC.</div>

The B1g Ten consistently only has 2, sometimes 3, good teams. To put them all in one division would make too obvious how weak the conference is.

Except it's not subtle at all and it's a ridiculous claim. But seeing the way they 17ed up the division and trophy names, I don't see how the logo is much worse.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; ">

One division should be called "Slow' and the other "Slower"

</span>

 

[noledawg.sixpack]

Yeah, I spent several minutes looking for the hidden "2" in the logo to go with the 1.

They're forward thinking and anticipating growing to 16 teams eventually and then the "g" would make a great "6".<div>Anyway, this is all gay (not that there's anything wrong with that).</div>

And a funny quote:

The logo is a block "Big Ten" which includes an homage to the original 10 members with those numerals embedded in the last two letters of the word Big.

Really? They are symbolically paying homage to the original 10 members inside the text that 17ing says BIG TEN? Really? WTF - I'm confused.

Lakes
-----
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Michigan
Michigan State
Illinois
Northwestern

Land
-------------
Nebraska
Iowa
Indiana
Purdue
Ohio State
Penn State

would have been North/South essentially, but Land and Lakes would have been geographic and unique.

 

[msubullie4life]

I was thinking it should have been Lakes and Plains.<div>
</div><div>Legends and Leaders...wtf?? sounds like it's some expansion pack **** to some video game</div>

[esplanade91]

Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin will be in the Leaders Division, with Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern in the Legends Division.

Those are the worst divisions, ever.

 

[jakldawg]

No single person is that dumb. It's like something from a horrible corporate weekend retreat.<div>Were alternatives the "Flat" and "Cold" Divisions not specific enough.</div>

[AzzurriDawg4]

Because putting a poorly crafted "10" in the word "Big" pays more homage than...you know...THE WORD "TEN" that is also in the name of the conference.<div>

[AssEndDawg]

This makes more sense.
