killer cacti Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yes. For all the talk of it not being geographical, throw up a map of the states (as miami did in a previous thread) and it's pretty strikingly not randomly distributed across the map. Ah, here's a map, from HI. Non geographic split? C'mon, Big Ten guys...did you even look at the map first?! Nope. Not geographical at all. No logical North/South OR East/West split there. You can call it North/South, or Northwest/Southeast, or a number of other semi-geographical (but not cardinal direction) names that have come up. Aside from one outlier, all the blue dots are in one group and all the red dots are in another group. There isn't much of a jumble and no reason IMO not to call it North/South. Leaders and Legends are great slogans, though. Same applies to a lot of other suggestions; I just think it's hard to practically use 'creative' division names such as catchphrases, motivational words, or homages to people/ideas. There is just no natural split there. On another note, while I dig the new Big 10 logo a lot, here's an alternative that looks pretty sweet: I really like this one too. Notice the 12 little "stars" at the top of the shield. I think this is an excellent way to allude to 12 teams. Ehh...no need for the 12 stars when you have the 12 logos of the schools. I would think the 12 logos would be left off most of the time. Pretty hard to paint on the fields and courts. True. Quote Link to comment
dergibog Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 They need to go with the regions, Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic. "Mid-Atlantic" only includes Pennsylvania out of the Big Ten. Mid-Atlantic just doesn't make sense geographically or otherwise Quote Link to comment
bbeerma2 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 They need to go with the regions, Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic. Yes.

Ah, here's a map, from HI. Non geographic split? C'mon, Big Ten guys...did you even look at the map first?! Northwest and Southeast Divisions. A conference with 12 teams being called the Big 10 should have no problem with one team (Wisconsin) being out of place. I had to look to see if someone had said this so I didn't post it again. Seriously though, Northwest is awful, just choose north or west. Quote Link to comment

With the map I could sure see a North/South split, but That would put us in the North Division again and I am definitely not for that. It didn't work the first time and I don't want to take any chances. West/east? Quote Link to comment
schuhbdoo Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 North / South makes the most sense. Only one of the 12 teams doesn't qualify. I say they do this and see how bad the reaction is. They can say they are putting Wisc on double secret probation and may move them from the South Div. if they keep dropping 70 on teams. Quote Link to comment
