Uhh...why can't you add teams and keep it the Big 10? It's the Big 10 and there are 11 teams now...so...And it's pretty obvious where the game would be played...Detroit, Chicago, or Indianapolis...so...

I'm not Jon and I don't play him on TV. But my sense is that the Big Ten is a registered trademark and a well-known, respected brand name that does not need to change based solely on the number of teams in the conference.
It is sort of ironic, though, that the Big Ten goes to 12 teams while the Big XII slips to 10 teams.

I'm curious to see how they are going to update the Big Ten logo to include a 12. They added the 11 seamlessly after PSU joined. Here are a couple not so good ones I saw.

No way the Big Ten changes names. It's a brand. Its like you don't say 'pass me a facial tissue', you say 'Get me a Kleenex'. Kleenex is a brand. Like going to the Xerox machine for those of us 40ish or older. A brand. When EF Hutton talks, people listen. A brand.
In fact, it would be like if Budweiser decided it wanted to change its name to Noodleturd.

Noodleturd is UT's pet name for Dan Beebe.

The Big 12 probably won't change either. Going to be funny that the Big 12 will have 10 teams and the Big 10 will have 12 teams. Pac 10 will also have 12 teams.

It must be the new modern math. The new 10 is 12 and the new 12 is 10.
Good grief Palpatine, I busted a gut on that one so bad that my eyes were watering...good cardio workout!!

this was posted on the ESPN Big Ten blog. An article on the guy who designed the current Big Ten logo, he also submitted designs for 12 and 13 teams.

You got that off of ESPN radio yesterday didn't you? I heard the same Kleenex comparison on an interview they had. Anyway, I agree with you Jon. The Big Ten is not just a name. It is a BRAND! I will be very upset if they mess with it!No way the Big Ten changes names. It's a brand. Its like you don't say 'pass me a facial tissue', you say 'Get me a Kleenex'. Kleenex is a brand.
