B1G Division names will be kept
Looks like were stuck with "Leaders" and "Legends" Division names for the 2011 season, I.E. probably forever.

Who would have ever thought that 90% of the people would ever agree on one thing...almost unheard of

I refuse to use B1G even joking. That was the last time.

I can't believe that the Commissioner of a conference would come out publicly and essentially say, "These names stink (stink), and we need new ones" only for the rotten stinkpiles to stay. Will Delaney come out with a statement saying, "My bad" or "Upon furter review, the play stands as called"? Only way to put the heat on himself for initially acknowledging the 90% of us who were obviously "wrong".

Remember, it has to be indisputable video evidence to overturn the call on the field...

He has the Big 10 in a dogma. Geez here we go again as the butt of jokes for the talking heads. Plus he is holding up a play off system with his can't think outside the box self

There's something I can get behind.
Despite the 90% disapproval rate of "Leaders" and "Legends," did Delaney and Co. decide to keep them before or after the B10 took the beating it did in its respective bowls, making the division names painfully ironic?
ESPN used "Neither Leaders nor Legends" as their clever SportsCenter headline when recapping all of the B10 blowout losses on New Year's Day, wouldn't changing them after that looked like surrender to the SEC instead of the 90% of fans that hated the names from the beginning? Seems petty, I know, but that's maybe something that someone who okayed "Leaders" and "Legends" would think about.
