Big Ten may reconsider division names

[dameiowa]

I REALLY like Black and Blue. We'd obviously be in the Black division and Michigan would be in the Blue. Plus, it sounds pretty bad ***!!

Mr. Delany...(not like he's really going to read this, but here goes)...

Heartland and Great Lakes (even though Mich and MSU are in the Great Lakes area).

Trying to name these based on geography is tough.

 

[seepig]

How about Planes and Trains?

How about Green Eggs and Ham

All kidding aside I thought about Great Lakes and Great Plains too. Like Hawkeye 101 stated

Saturday and Sunday.

Campbell & Prince of Wales have a nice ring..

Such as nice ring the NHL decided to dump them for - get this, East and West

Maybe we should go North and South simply to screw with everybody - kind like the fact our name really doesn't fit anymore, might as well go all out.

Dirt and Rust.

I looked over them and I think the best (and the most simple) is East and West. It's not perfect and Delaney didn't think geography was a high priority since that's how they picked divisions . . . but it makes the most sense.

I wouldn't mind Legends and Leaders if they didn't start with the same first two letters, which makes it a pain to abbreviate. Plus calling a division Leaders is stupid, because then you've got added confusion between Big Ten Leaders and Big Ten (statistical) leaders. I would be fine with something like:
Legends and Heroes
Legends and Dynasties
etc.
