Lame.

[ChicosBailBonds]

A quickie.

Bueno

[MUsoxfan]

As a friend of mine suggested, the new division names should be "Slow" and "Bad"

[MUBurrow]

A quickie.

If this just became the (un)official scoop meme, I wouldn't be disappointed.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Bueno

nice work TT.

[4everwarriors]

So are they using Leaders and Legends for all sports?

For basketball, I think they should have the Snipes and Harrelson divisions. But the Snipes division would only have 4 teams.

Disagree. For basketball, the divisions should be Traditional and Non-Traditional

Disagree. For basketball, the divisions should be Traditional and Non-Traditional

The Traditional division would have 10 teams.  Michigan and Illinois would battle it out for the Non-Tradttional title every year.

[MerrittsMustache]

Maybe the divisions could be re-named the Warriors and the Gold. Those names aren't being used anymore.

The big question (to me, anyways) is if the Big Ten will keep the division names and logo despite them being almost universally panned and mocked or if they'll give in to public demand, swallow their pride and make a change.

A quickie.

You win at the internets.

[willie warrior]

What are they calling the conference, The Big 10, The Big 12, or perhaps the "Double 6's" for 6 in in each division? How about The 66?

It is stupid to keep the name Big 10.

You know what?  I'm beginning to think that Delany doesn't give a rip about this.  He knows they are over the top...but when you are the most powerful man in college athletics (perhaps with his colleague from the SEC), you can pretty much do what you want.

Big Ten might reconsider those ridiculous division names.

"Delany said during an interview with WGN AM-720 in Chicago on Thursday that the names Legends and Leaders were picked to highlight the conference's rich history, and that "to a great extent it's fallen on deaf ears." Many fans have instead mocked the names and asked officials to reconsider, which Delany said could happen after the first of the year."

Dan Bernstein agrees with everything you just said.
