Big Ten testing conference names this year

[jimmybuffett]

Big Ten will keep division names at least through 2011 season - Campus Rivalry: College Football & Basketball News, Recruiting, Game Picks, and More - USATODAY.com

i dont really see why they're just testing them. I think it's pretty obvious that they hit a home run with "legends" and " leaders".

I think it's pretty obvious that Delany continues to yank our chains over this.

"Oh, they're just fine."
"Oh, just give it some time."
"Oh, maybe we'll change them."
"Well, let's still give it a year."

Since the Big Ten isn't going to change them, and his pandering would make politicians proud, he could've really simplified this at the start: "**** all y'all."

Likely translation: we already branded the division names on some merchandise and need to sell through it before we change them.

I guess they thought "Arrogance" and "Elitists" was too much and decided to stand pat...

Whatever I'm going to call the Divisions whatever I want...I really don't care....but Legends and Leaders is horrid.
