Leaders: Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Northwestern.
When asked on the Big Ten Network about how bland the division names were and how they could "apply to any conference", Commissioner Delany convinced most critics by stating, "All I can tell you is that we thought long and hard about what not to do. We thought harder about what to do." He silenced all of his critics that doubted him by expressing that he is, in fact, trying at his job.
Rejected division names include:
Michigan and Others, Ohio State and Others
Champions, Winners
Triumph, Legacies
Victory, Old Guys
Cold States, Colder States
I have no problem with the logo. It's simple. It keeps the idea of having numbers inside of letters which has been part of Big Ten tradition for... multiple years now. The Big Ten should have its universities look into revising the antiquated base 10 numeral system currently in place to a system where 12 is the same number as 10. I'm not sure how it would work; that's why we need the universities to look into it. They are leaders, after all.
How bout Losers (Purdue, Minnesota, Indiana-not for long though), and Everybody else?
