I have like Lakes and Plains. I also like Stagg and Berwagner or Stagg and insert other legend here. My favorite has to be Rotel and Velveta divisions.

Rotel and Velveta is funny, and honestly I wouldn't put it past the Big Ten to name the divisions after corporate sponsors.

I'm not sure on Lakes and Plains. Would seem odd that the two schools in the state with the most Great Lakes' shoreline (Michigan and MSU) would be in the Plains division.

I thought the same thing, but when you look at the divisions every school in the other division is in a state that boarders a great lake (Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania). The other division has two states that don't boarder a great lake (Iowa and Nebraska).

Thanks for posting that. I actually looked on the BTN webpage and couldn't find anything so I figured that I would have to wait until it came over Twitter.

Well, that is an underwhelming logo in my opinion.

With their "abbreviated" version of the logo (and even with the shaping of the IG in the full logo), it looks as if they are making the usage of "Big 10" acceptable as well, whereas before it was always spelling out the Ten.

Hmmm, interesting is the only way I can describe it.
Initially, I didn't like it, but now it is growing on me.

New logo looks like crap in my opinion. Says B1G TEN in a lighter blue color with the word B1G being blue on a while background and TEN in white on a blue background. The logo can either be side by side or stacked with B1G on top of TEN.

I'll upload pictures when they become available.

I like keeping the brand name Big Ten.

That's the "abbreviated" version. The G is supposed to serve as a 0 in that case to look like "B10"

There is still the full B1G TEN logo (as krambman mentioned), which can be stacked to create a square logo, or written out on one line like the old one.

The I is 1 and the G could be a 0, making Big 10 inside the logo.
It is growing on me.

In that case I would have closed to G more.

With this long video on leadership, I'm guessing the division names are "Leadership" and "Commitment" or "Honor"

Dennis Dodd on twitter says "How easy would it be to change the G to a 6 if the big 10 goes to 16" Hahaha
