gocelts34 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I cannot believe they chose Legends, and Leaders to be the names of the two divisions. Sounds like the names for some fantasy football league full of 12 year olds. The Big 10 could have done alot better then this. I was listening to the guys on ESPN and they brought up some good points. Penn State and Ohio State have very storied histories in the Big Ten and they can't even be considered Legends, where as Nebraske has yet to play a game in the Big 10 and they are legends?? I know the names don't really mean anything, but it is something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Big Ten may rethink Legends, Leaders CHICAGO -- Jim Delany has spent more than two decades as commissioner of the Big Ten, overseeing two conference expansions and the formation of the Big Ten Network. None of it prepared him for the overwhelmingly negative reaction to the conference's new 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. "I think we have enough experience with names, and expansion and development of divisions, to know that you never, rarely, get 90 percent approval rating," Delany said during the interview. "But to get a 90 percent non-approval rating was, you know, really surprising."Thank goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
