Great, they just added one more reason to laugh at the big ten. Stinking ESPN has been making fun of this since they anounced it.

I have an employee, SEC fan, already making fun of it. I guess i will not be going to EDSBS cause you know what they will be doing.

Thanks alot Delany.

Someone on scout (I know, I know) pointed this out first. But it does look like they could easily turn that into B16....

I find it hard to believe that a lot of thought went into this logo.

I find it hard to believe that a lot of thought WASN'T put into the names of the divisions... ....and then they announced Leaders and Legends. Awful. The radio shows I've listened to are beating this up pretty bad. It's been funny to listen to.

People don't make fun of the Big Ten as much for stuff like this as they do for Big Ten fans being so damn sensitive.

Back when the Reds played in Riverfront Stadium, my best friend's step-dad used to give us tickets from the season ticket package that his shop had leftover or couldn't use throughout the year. There was another season ticket holder right near those seats - he was a big old ripped motherfucker and he always wore crazy shit like singlets and bike shorts and leather baseball caps. He looked dumb as hell, but we didn't dare make fun of him at the ballpark. When you're big enough, badass enough, and/or rich enough you can get away with looking like that. This new Big Ten logo is similar in that regard.

The new Big Ten logo: Like a big old ripped motherfucker wearing a singlet to the ballpark.

You forgot the bike shorts & leather cap.

:so:


Am I the only one with a sneaking suspicions that Delaney & Co. don't actually have any damn idea what they're doing?

The only part of the expansion that hasn't been a walking clusterfuck was the addition of Nebraska and THAT was mostly a stroke of luck because the gurus making the big bucks we're placing so much trust in weren't even seriously considering at the Cornhuskers.

Instead they were dead set on national powerhouse & household name...Rutgers.

Just like Derek Jeter can walk into a club in board shorts and a cutoff-T and walk out with 50 women.

For years people ragged on the Big Ten for having 11 teams. Now it's the logo and division names. Some people will always find something.

Although, I'd agree that maybe there should've been more feedback from either fans, student-athletes or anyone prior to releasing everything.

probably.

but youre dead wrong. the husker have been beating on the door since the last round of expansion (with penn state). they wanted in then in the worst way, it just couldnt be swung with the big 8, swac thing going on, their stature at the time and the general sense that the presidents didnt want them...


but back to your point, if by creating a cash cow of a tv network, adding another team, and potentially creating a third revenue sport is what you mean... then sure.

Texas was beating on the door immediately after Penn State came on board. This time around they used the Big Ten to give themselves enough leverage to play the Big 12 & Pac how they wanted.

The info that has come from folks connected to the process this time around have stated unanimously that Nebraska was not on the conference's radar until the very last minute when they initiated contact.

If you have a source that says there was long term contact between the two parties I'd love to take a look at it.

These are so bad I may stop being a fan of B10 sports. I can't stop rooting for Ohio State, but I may have to stop watching the rest of the league and stop telling people I am a fan of B10 sports.

Yes, that is hyperbole, but the logo and the division names are embarrassments. Especially the logo.
