MichiganMan Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 didnt see a thread about this yet http://www.annarbor....-today-at-noon/ Big Ten officials will unveil the names of its new divisions and the conference's new logo at noon today on the Big Ten Network. The division names have been a hot topic since the conference announced it would move its football members to a two-division format on Sept. 1. Conference commissioner Jim Delany is expected to join the broadcast. Although "Bo" and "Woody" were popular division name candidates in early discussions among fans - tributes to Michigan coach Bo Schembechler and Ohio State coach Woody Hayes - the Big Ten indicated earlier it didn't want to ignore the histories of the conference's other 10 schools. Geographic names are also unlikely candidates. When the conference split into two divisions, it did not do so along geographic lines. The two divisions are: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin in one division, and Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern in the other. The division names and logo overhaul are the latest in several sweeping changes in the conference, which added Nebraska as a member and a football championship game starting at the end of the 2011 regular season in recent months. Last week, the Big Ten announced it had concluded its expansion process for the "foreseeable future." Quote Link to comment

bball_backer Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I read somewhere that someone suggested something like stars and stripes, or red and blue or something like that... hopefully it's not that bad, but I have a feeling these names will set up the conference to get made fun of by everyone else, leaving many of us to just sit there and take it and Quote Link to comment
