what do you name the divisions

Div 1: Our non-revenue sports can
Div 2: kick your non-revenue sports' butt!
 

Bronko Nagurski and Red Grange would be good, but picking former players names would not likely receive unanimous support from all schools.

Delany said last night the names will have a some sort of nod to the history of the Big Ten. So maybe they do go with the Nagurski division.

+1. If they name it that, I won't just apologize for my frustration with Maturi, I'll buy him a beer.
 





MMMINN is a great name for one division.....

PPIIOW (pronounced PEW) for the other one....

That's pretty close to what I came up with:

The 'MININUMMS' Division (pronounced 'min-e-numms') - Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Northwestern (NU), Minnesota, and Michigan State

-and-

The 'PSIPILOW' Division (pronounced 'sip-eh-low) - Penn State, Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Ohio State, and Wisconsin


If some how we ended up with Nagurski Division, that would be the cherry on top of this realignment. :cool:
 

Well, let's go to their motivation:

Michigan Division

Ohio State Division
 

How about a nod to the longest running rivalry in division 1A:

the Smith Division (for Bruce Smith of the U)
the Ameche Division (for Alan Ameche of Wisconsin)

Both were each school's first (and in our case only) Heisman Trophy winners.

I still love the Nagurski division or the Bierman division for that matter, but I fully understand that many schools may be uncomfortable with naming divisions after people from a particular school. If that winds up being the case, I love the Black and Blue divisions.

If they go with the "Woody" and "Bo" divisions I will puke. The last thing I want to hear about is how great Woody or Bo were 24/7. Besides it clearly makes it look like OSU and Michigan are bigger than the conference, and last I checked the B10 wasn't the B12(oh, wait?!? never mind, you know what I meant). Just be glad we didn't get Texas or the name's would be "Hook'em" and "Horns" and the offices would be in Austin next week.
 

The Nagurski and Grange Divisions

Make so much sense, for so many reasons, it has zero chance of coming to pass.

:(
 

Stolen from my favorite Bakery....

Them and Those
 

I can't see after all the ideas that it won't be Grange and Nagurski.

Grange is considered the greatest football player of all time, and there's a national award named after Nagurski.

Plus the teams they played on are innocuous and couldn't possibly make any team feel slighted.

Otherwise I'm kind of set on Brooklyn Decker and Bar Rafaeli.

"I've said it a thousand times. Bronko Nagurski was the greatest player I ever saw, and I saw a lot of them in my lifetime."
- Illinois' Harold "Red" Grange
 

the "razzle" and "dazzle" divisions
"Run" and "Gun" divisions

and the "shake and bake" divisions
