Stupid!

Just call it East and West.

No need to make a frickin’ production out of this!

[JennysCool]

“Lame” and “Lamer.”

[steelyourfaith]

Nile Kinnick. Legend.

[dirtboy]

So the Big Ten has twelve teams and the Big Twelve has ten teams.

*** head scratch ***

[dead]

Oh my.

Why not just name the divisions "Douche" and "Bags"?

[combat_boots]

How about ‘Athletes’ and ‘Professionals’?

[j_k_l]

Why not:

"Not Good Enough For The SEC"

&

"Not Good Enough For The PAC 10"

?

[The Sons of Liberty]

So now that the “not so” Big 12 has only 10 teams, does that mean that it can no longer have a championship game?

[Fellow Traveler]

How about Rust Belt and Dust Bowl

[GunRunner]

If it is possible for a conference to narcissistic, then the Big Ten definitely is.

When's the last time a Big Ten team other than OSU won a National Championship, or even played for the title?

Take Ohio State out of the Big Ten and you have a conference that's on par with the WAC.

Legends and Leaders during the season and Loser in the Rose Bowl.

Heh (from http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/12/big-ten-division-names-legends-and-leaders.html)

* Leaders and Legends are the names of conference rooms at an airport Marriott.

* Nebraska just heard new division names and is trying to see if it can return to Big 12 North.

* Legends and Leaders? Really? What was the second choice — Boring and Also Boring?

* Legends and Leaders. The Big Ten goes into next season with 2 “L”s on its record (sounds about right).

* We are officially the cheesiest conference in NCAA football!!!!!

* What has Indiana football ever done to be categorized as a Leader?

* Unofficially gauging reaction to the #BigTen division names/logos announcement on Twitter: 99% negative, 1% league employees.

* Was ‘X’ and ‘O’ that bad?

* So who will be the first one to write/announce, “Wisconsin, the Leaders leader...” Is it too late for the Big Ten to get its money back?

* I think I’d be happier if the divisions were named ‘Meat’ & ‘Potatoes.’ #bigten

* If Big Ten was looking for a logo that looks like it was designed by Atari, they got it right!

[pogo101]

So now Michigan’s fight song will have to be changed to reflect that they’re the “LEGENDS [not Leaders] and best”?

Ludicrous.

[KingOfVagabonds]

The Big 10 has decided to go the way of the XFL and roller derby.

[Servant of the Cross]

Embarrassing. Terrible. A real leader would immediately rescind this stupidity.

[TonyInOhio]

I was pulling for “Three Yards” and “Cloud of Dust”, but nobody asked me.

[Carpe Cerevisi]

The Big Ten now sponsored by:

[OrangeHoof]

I don’t hate the names as much as I hate them together because they imply that “leaders” are not “legends” and vice versa. Give me a half-hour and I would have come up with something better.

“Pros” and “Cons”

[Buckeye McFrog]

gee, and I thought the NHL was lame back when they had the Patrick, Norris, Smythe and Adams Divisions...
