"I'm not sure it was a national survey [of people who didn't like the names], but people who hit the 'send' button,"
It was a survey of Big 10 fans and everyone hated it. It wasn't the haters stuffing the ballot box.

Renaming them would show legendary leadership I think.

Yeah, the disapproval was something ridiculous like 90% when they announced it.
Maybe they can shoot for 95% with some new ones.

Dear B1G,
In honor of Trevor, please rename the divisions the "C**ks" and the "C**ts." Thanks.
Signed,

Thank God.

Also, I'm sure not everyone agrees, but the B1G logo has really grown on me over the last couple of years. I'm a fan now.

Just restructure the divisions geographically and give them East/West names. This Lakes/Plains, Bo/Woody stuff is garbage.

Always a lot of backlash when there's something new. And though it's been a couple of years, the "Legends" and "Leaders" differentiation is still new. Absent using a geographical denotation (B1G East and B1G West), I have a hard tme imaging better options that Leaders and Legends to represent the B1G's divisions.
Any ideas? What's tRCMB have to say?

I think it needs to be geographical or something that allows you to logically what teams are in a division. Leaders and Legends was so generic that it made things way too confusing.

I've always liked it. Glad they kept it. I am indifferent to the division names. Whatever they call them doesn't really matter to me.

How about:
Red/Not red. Illinois can be considered red since orange is close enough to red and there are 6 red schools.

The trouble I have with it is I don't even know what division MSU is in. Are we Leaders? Or Legends?
I'll bet 80% of MSU fans don't know the name. We may know the teams, (Nebraska, UM, etc.) but not the name.
It should be broken up geographically, and have an East/West Divisions. K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid)
