The Name Game: Propose Names for the Big 10's Divisions

PrintIn the style of Rock M Nation's caption contests, let's have some fun here. Today, the Big 10 announced that its new divisions would be called the "Leaders" and "Legends." Judging by Twitter and this site, most have found those to be a little silly (or a lot silly).
So instead of being part of the problem, let's be part of the solution. Post your ideas for what the Big 10 should have used in the comments. For extra credit, propose new names for the Big 12's bland (and no-longer-used) "North" and "South," and if you really want to be teacher's pet, propose new names for the SEC's unimaginative "East" and "West" and give the Pac-10 ideas, too.
Rec your favorites. Winner gets...well, nothing tangible, sorry. But your comment will turn green if three or more people Rec it!

I'll go first...
Big 10: “Arrogance” and “Hubris” (KSB’s post from earlier gave me the idea)
Big 12: “Texas” and “Others”
No good ideas for the SEC and Pac-10 right now.

Yeah, that's it.
It couldn’t be that your conference is run by a smarmy sunuvabitch, who approves douche-y proposals like calling your divisions “Legends” and “Leaders.”

for the Big Ten, they should have gone with the “Black” and “Blue” Divisions. I’m serious on that.

I imagine they really meant:

or
“Ak-sar-ben” Division and “11 Others” Division to be more stealthy.

im surprised no one came up with
“Rotel” and “Barbasol”
What do Tigers dream of when they take a little Tiger snooze? Do they dream of mauling Jayhawks, Or Todd Reesing in his sod helmet suit? Don’t you get in a self-loathing funk, We’re gonna start this party with a Lawrence Bowers dunk, And then we’re gonna find Kimmeh’s shot too, And bring a victory back to the Zou!

Big Ten Conference
The Big Ten conference is the largest Division 1 athletic conference within the country.
The proof is here: Big Ten logo tries to incorporate 12 teams
The Big Ten began its life as the Big Nine. Three additional teams have been added, however. In 2011, the Big Ten will be twelve groups, however the new Big Ten logo has been simplified.
Here's a funny take on the repercussions of these ridiculous division names
