PrintGBR918 had asked about this only a few days ago. Apparently the Big Ten was listening.
From the official BTN release:
CHICAGO - The Big Ten Network will air the exclusive announcement of the Big Ten Conference's new logo, division names and associated elements at noon ET Monday. Dave Revsine will host the show, which will include an appearance by Big Ten Commissioner James E. Delany to discuss the announcement in greater detail.
Let wild speculation commence on division names.

Unless we're renaming it to reflect reality,
I’m not all that interested.

i'm guessing that

If they have anything to do with Woody and Bo, then Penn State is leaving and you, as our cross-divisional rivals, are free to join us.

Dumbest. Names. Ever.
I’d rather had them named have the legendary coaches, Woody and Bo
Welcome to the Big Ten, you guys.
This is what we do. We get drunk, pay a marketing firm a lot of money, and this happens.

No, I’m not talking about Korean hookers, either. Sound financial principles led me to that purchase.

Don't forget the strippers!
No party is a partay without the obligatory strippers.
When I grow up I wanna be like Koeppel Knievel
Isn't the Big 10 too old for strippers?
Isn’t the league over 100 years old? 100-year olds and strippers don’t mix.
Or when they do, it usually doesn’t end well for the old dude. The stripper often gets a nice financial package in the will however…
At least with the Big 12, we were too young (15 years old or so) to get strippers, but Texas had enough money to make the authorities look the other way.
I have no problem with the logo...
the division names on the other hand? Ugh.
Trophies!!!!!
The Big Ten champion will win the Stagg-Paterno Trophy. The MVP of the game will win the Grange-Griffin trophy.

18 new trophies
But they only announced 4 on the show. I can’t seem to find the rest on the Big 10 Network or Big 10 Conference sites.
probably
one for every game now… because every game will be a “rivalry” game..???

my biggest problem
with these division names is that I’ll continually screw them up because they’re not really descriptive. they’re actual names.

My biggest problem
is that fans in the Leaders Divison get to call us the Followers Division, and I can’t think of an obvious reciprocal.
Reporter: "What would it take to get you to spend three or four days outside, on concrete?"
Joe Paterno: "Depends what she looks like."
Yea,
If the Leaders Division wins most of the title, we could be called the Lemmings Division.
by Aaron Musfeldt on Dec 13, 2010 1:20 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, I kind of thought
That “Leaders” sounded like the teams going places, and “Legends” sounds like has-beens.
by UltimaRatioRegum on Dec 13, 2010 4:13 PM CST up reply actions
As far as I'm concerned
The Big Ten divisions will officially be called Our Division and The Other Division.
Good guys and Bad guys?
Iowa, you’ll have to start wearing white hats.
Penn St., you have to change to black hats. Menacing looking moustaches would be nice as well.
Yeah but.....
Thanks to your duel loyalties, you’ve got a team in each division…..

I thought about that right after I posted. For me, it’ll actually be Nebraska’s Division and Wisconsin’s Division. But for all other Husker fans, I suggest Our Division and The Other Division.

Yeah, I always wanted East/West
I mean, hell, not to rehash and ancient argument, but I think that split would have done just fine. But even with the current configuration, we’d just have to remember that Wisconsin and the Michigan schools were directionally challenged. (and technically Evanston is east of Champaign-Urbana but nobody knows geography that well right?).
"My hardest job is to convince the people of Nebraska that 10-1 is not a losing season." - Tom Osborne
I don't care
I am just glad we are finished with the Big XII. I would much rather be in the Legends division of the Big 10 than in any division controlled by one school. I will miss OU and the rest of the old Big Eight foes but to hell with the cheating SWC they will get caught again it is only a matter of time. Has anyone elso seen that 30 for 30 special about SMU. That was crazy.
I don't really care about the names or the logos
I’m content with how friggin’ stoked I am that we’re actually talking about Nebraska as a Big Ten member!
Only 292 days until it all begins!
Brian Cook at the monster that is mgoblog
declares he’s not using the division names, and instead will be using “east” and “west”
http://mgoblog.com/content/welcome-successories-conference
These division names do not exist. I’m not using them. Michigan is in the West. Ohio State is in the East. Wisconsin has to deal. It is immediately obvious which teams are in the West—the ones mostly in the west. Michigan can be Champions of the West, and no one has to think about how leadership is more about character than authority.
Can we make this a blogosphere-wide insurrection? Please? Everyone just use “East” and “West.”

I was thinking the same thing....
Just trump Jim Delaney and make his choice irrelevant. I refuse to use Championship Subdivision to refer to 1-AA, and this whole Legends/Leaders thing is marketingspeak at it’s worst.
Works for me
The ACC went the mushy meaningless names route and thanks to that, I could do a better job listing teams in the MAC East and West than listing the teams of the ACC Atlantic and Coastal Divisions.

I'm in.
And I gotta say, Jon, this whole “don’t swear at Corn Nation” thing is being put to the test this week. Bo to Miami/Bo staying put/Watson leaving/everyone with a pulse for OC/and now this stupid, stupid move on our new conference’s part. I know I’m a man of the cloth and all, but dadgummit, sometimes you just gotta drop an f-bomb, for pete’s sake!
/just kidding
//mostly
If Mizzou had gotten the invite instead of us, I’d be angry for their sake. It was bad enough when they played cute in ‘91, keeping “Big Ten” when they had ten teams. Now it’s just stupid, with a side of smug and a double helping of clueless. YOU INVITED PENN STATE AND NEBRASKA INTO YOUR CONFERENCE – THIS ISN’T THE “BIG TEN” ANYMORE.
/grumblegrumblegrumble
"...water for the corn." — petromax spambot
I can help
“Big Ten” is how you formally refer to the conference, per media guide instructions, so “Big 10” is actually incorrect.
Given that, “Big Ten” is a name. If it were “Big 10”, then I’d agree with you.
make sense?

By that logic,
I can marry Salma Hayek, because promising to be faithful to “one” woman is different than promising to be faithful to “1” woman. Am I right?
No? Dammit – thought I’d found a loophole there.

But see
Anne Hathaway, to my mind, is basically Jane Austen. And she’s way old. If I had know that Jane Austen looked like that, I totally would have majored in Jane Austen.
Willa Cather needs this kind of publicity. That’d put our Englsh Department on the map.
This is a disaster...
…these idiots will be mocked for years to come.
And, think of the consultants who did this. They face the choice of explaining to future clients what went wrong or hiding the qual and then explaining what they were doing with their time.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
I know, right!
and we’re (teh Pac-12) what? Nothing. We just suck.
So lame. Larry Scott so needs to hire us some marketing gurus like the Big Ten’s so that we can be Loggers and Losers.

By the way
When and how does Nebraska get its rivalry trophies? I’d imagine that we’ll pretty much automatically get one with both Iowa and Penn State right away. Michigan probably won’t be too far down the road. I can’t imagine getting along with them.
"My hardest job is to convince the people of Nebraska that 10-1 is not a losing season." - Tom Osborne
+1
I heard “trophies” last nigt while watching the B10 special and got excited… then figured out it was just the 2 name player award monstrosities and felt dejected.
Really 2 names for every award? Thats just stupid.
So I tried the Barbasol and Rotel dip and I was very dissapointed!
I submitted an Idea
To the Athletic Departments of both Iowa and Nebraska about a month ago and the response I got was “the idea of a trophy has come up, but right now we are focusing on the season.” If we open the trophy idea up for suggestions your idea will be considered.
Part of me says you can’t force a trophy (Land Grant) and that it just has to come naturally (Floyd).

I still think
A yard by yard square of Beaver Stadium sideline turf needs to be the NU-PSU “trophy.”

oh and maybe for NU-Michigan
Have a mock 1997 NC trophy

Division names
Disappointed, maybe it will grow on me… for now, I would have preferred RAM and ROD
Division names
absolute crap. I’ll join the “east-west” names coalition. Less sucky.

The more people
The more people you have selecting something the more bland it will be to cater to everyone’s tastes. I think that’s what we have here.
It's not that bad
I think everyone is over-reacting just a bit. They are just division names and a new logo which really aren’t that bad. I thought The trophies were the worst part. Not even the names but the people they actually picked to represent some of them. The guys on the Detroit radio show were pissed that NU even had someone to represent a trophy. I would say if they are to represent the new Big 10, then all players in the school history should be considered whether or not they have been in that conference.
remember
that in the new world order, NU is Northwestern

Big Ten
The Big Ten is the biggest athletic conference for colleges in the nation.
The proof is here: Big Ten logo tries to incorporate 12 teams
Although the Big Ten started as the Big Nine, it has been incorporating teams for a long time. Over the last year, the Big Ten has had an “11” designed to the emblem. Now that the Big Ten emblem has 12 groups to integrate, it’s been simplified.
Big Ten started at ten, then went to nine
B10 was always so, until Chicago dropped football. It took ~10 years for MAC to be accepted.
