I'm still a huge fan of Lakes/Plains or Huron/Erie. Those make SO much more sense and have a distinct B10 feel to them.

If "conference of northern aggression" with the Sherman and Grant divisions isn't going to get a fair shake then yeah Lakes/plains is pretty cool.

The Big Ten will keep its new division names through the 2011 season, league officials confirmed Thursday.
The new names, Legends and Leaders, sparked a backlash after being unveiled last month. League commissioner Jim Delany told WGN-Radio in Chicago on Dec. 16 that he wanted to let the names "breathe a little bit," adding that they could be re-evaluated after Jan. 1.
Although the league will continue to evaluate the names and conduct market research on their sustainability, it never planned to change them before the 2011 season.
"We can't test them until we play a season," Big Ten chief communications officer Diane Dietz told ESPN.com on Thursday. "We can't know until we use them."
Big Ten division play begins this fall with the addition of Nebraska. The league holds its first football championship Dec. 3 in Indianapolis.

Summary? Headline? A little copy & paste?

Some of us avoid clicking on links and giving pageviews to that website.

It's about the conference division names. They are keeping Leaders and Legends through 2011. Perhaps it should be moved to the "Big 10 Conference Divisions" thread?

Huh? They're not some new gadgets that might burn the house down when you plug them in. They're names. Change them...
