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 like Great Plains and Great Lakes, or just Plains and Lakes, something like that. Otherwise, a Northwest/Southeast looks fine, too.

They need to go with the regions, Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic.

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.

How about Blue Balloons and Red Balloons. You can add the 10,000 in there if you want to.

THIS is why we ended up with Legends and Leaders. I imagine the Big10 meetings discussing the options would similar in dialog.

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.
