NCAA Football re-alignment?

[Jon]

"Legends" is okay and I'm glad Northwestern is in that one. But they couldn't do any better than "Leaders?"

Legends is terrible as well.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

They're both equally terrible.

[bukie]

With those names, I'd almost have preferred they named the divisions "Big" and "Ten".

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'd almost prefer Douches and Assbags

[SouthSideRyan]

Hey, Jim, maybe you should've just split them up East/West and kept it simple. Asshat.

[UMFan83]

Do you think Delaney created those names while barhopping last weekend at sports bars with the same name, or do you think he stole them from the names of the two conference rooms at the Mariott he was staying at?

ACC already took those.

BUT MICHIGAN AND PENN STATE WIN 10 GAMES EVERY YEAR!!!

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

The Legends Division and the Leaders Division.

 

Are you kidding?

 

Yay I hope Michigan can finish at the top of the Legends Division next season.

 

/facepalm.

Plus you have to split Indiana and Purdue up since they are historically the two best basketball schools in the Big Ten.

Please tell me this crap doesnt carry over to basketball. I could have sworn there were no divisions in basketball.

I don't think they do, but I wanted to rehash that old comedy gem.

[SouthSideRyan]

[Tracer Bullet]

so what are normal people going to call the divisions b/c no one is going to use those stupid names.

That was a classic. These logos are awful, they are the color of what I would expect a tissue or tampon box to be.

[Tracer Bullet]

Does the Big Ten know that Paterno is only mostly dead?

[SouthSideRyan]

so what are normal people going to call the divisions b/c no one is going to use those stupid names.

 

More improtantly, what are normal people going to call the Antwaan Randle-El trophy?

 

ETA: Sorry, the Thompson-Randle El trophy.

 

They managed to get everything wrong.

Thankfully, none of it really matters because the logos and names couldn't be any worse.

[Guest]

Legends and Leaders? Is this some elaborate joke?

[Jon]

Still not a big fan of the division names, but they make a lot more sense considering the trophies they've announced.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

Naming every trophy after two people is annoying and unnecessary. I can't wait to hoist the Grange-Paterno Championship Trophy. Jesus, how politically correct did they need to be with this thing? Would anyone really get their panties in that big of a wad if it was just the Grange Trophy or the Paterno Trophy?

[UMFan83]

Well yeah the theme works, but who the heck decided there needed to be a theme between the division names and the end of the year trophies?

[jersey cubs fan]

All of this just screams terrible planning by committee.

I think it's dumb to have JoePa's name on the trophy when A) He's still alive and still an active Big 10 coach, and B) He spent the large majority of his career coaching outside the Big 10, and won all his championships before joining the conference.
