[Husker] Names for the Big Ten divisions

[Mike Jaixen]

Doubtful. The Big Ten didn't waste their time with an online poll that was 
either rigged or completely disregarded.

That being said, the names they came up with are weak at best.  After they 
announced the trophies, I realized that "Stagg" would have made a great division 
name.  I would have looked further into Big Ten history and found another 
historical icon for the other division.  I understand the desire not to use 
Schembechler or Hayes...but going back 100 years, there are a lot of great names 
that would have worked just fine:  Red Grange, Jesse Owens, etc.

So the entity that came up with these names is the same one that came up with 
Omaha Storm Chasers? ;-)
