In this article, Teddy Greenstein writes about the tedious search for names for the new divisions in the Big Ten. The Commissioner, Jim Delany, is quoted saying he wants the names to “conjure up the right feelings in people -- a positive, emotional response.” Last week Greenstein asked readers to send in name ideas, he then incorporated the reader’s responses in this article. I think it was a great follow up and gave those who sent in ideas a reason to keep reading his articles to see if their idea got featured or not. I thought the article was humorous because many of the proposed names Greenstein featured were silly. The article definitely illustrates that picking two final names will be a tough process. Aside from writing about the many division name ideas, Greenstein tells the readers that Dec. 1, the date the new names were supposed to be revealed, may be pushed back 60 days. I think many Big Ten sports fans will appreciate knowing that piece of information. As a Big Ten sports fan myself I am interested to see what the divisions will be named.
