    Re: College Football IV: The Hand over Fist Cash Grab Time, or Bowl Season for short.

    If you're naming trophies after coaches, how do Bo and Woody get passed over? They defined the conference for a decade while Paterno's....old, with two titles in 15 years, I think?

    Edit: Oh, they get the coach of the year trophy.

    I dunno. Some of this just seems like something you do when you're a kid and making up awards and thinking "who's the best defensive player I know."

        Bo and Woody have the Hayes-Schembeclhler Coach of the Year Award. EVERY trophy has two names, at least of the six they revealed. There is still 12 more they said were going to be online, but aren't posted yet.

        I don't think they went for the hidden 2. Looks like they went for the G to be a 0. There's an alternate logo that I didn't post because it was massive, but it looks like this:

          Ugh. I was going to go down the whole list to nitpick, but it is just stupid that they need to name each trophy after 2 people. If they are going to name it after 2 people, though, why not name it after the 2 best in that category? The offensive player of the year named for...Otto Graham and Eddie George?? The punter of the year named for Dike Eddleman and Brandon Fields, and no mention of either Iowa's Reggie Roby or Wisconsin's Pat O'Dea, the 2 greatest college punters of all time?

          These names are poorly researched, completely unmarketable and unnecessarily named after 2 people. Two of them, the Kwalick-Clark trophy (best Tight End) and the Remington-Pace trophy (best Offensive Lineman) are named after players who never played a single Big Ten game!

            I guess I didn't get that far down the list. I was more impressed with the ones near the top. Nagurski-Someotherguy, Dungy-Someotherguy, Hayes-Schemechler, Stagg-Paterno. Those I like, but I completely agree, they went overboard with the two names. They really should have just picked one name for each. Unfortunately, we all need to feel included

                At least they are from schools that are in the big ten now. That must have been their thinking (as little as it was).

                  One name on each is from either a Nebraska player (Rimington) or Penn State before they were Big 10 (Kwalick). I can see the problem here. But at the the same time they are trying to embrace and recognize the history of each team in the new league, even if they have little or no history in the Big 10 itself, which really isnt a bad thing.

                    Wow...that is friggin outstanding! Why should Nebraska have any name on any Trophy they are joining this year?

                    Ya know I hate the Big Ten anyways...but this is whole thing is downright stupid. Have the Divisions be East and West, (or Lakes and Plains if you prefer) have either Bo or Woody be the Championship Trophy and the other be Coach of the Year. The rest of the awards name after 1 person that exemplifies the award. How friggin hard is that?

                      Yes it is...it is stupid as hell. If they didnt play in the Big Ten then no Big Ten award should be named after them. What happens in a few years if someone else joins does their school get to put a random player on an award too?

                      Hey I got an idea, lets add Tom Osbourne to the COTY Award...I mean it makes about as much sense.

                        I actually like the name of the Championship trophy. Has a nice ring to it.

                        Logo is terrible, I had thought the rumor was they were just going to modify the existing one to include a 12 instead of the 11 hidden in there now.

                        Division names are also terrible, but they didn't have a ton to work with here. I was never a fan of naming the divisions after Hayes/Schembechler or whatever the suggestion was.

                        I can certainly get behind the idea of the Dayne-Ameche trophy though!

                        Of all the logos, this one is "least bad" in my opinion.

                          If there were a player deserving...maybe. But if they go adding more teams lets be honest...it really wont be the Big 10 anymore.

                          I've got my opinion. You have yours. So be it.

                            I thought the LeBron James - Kobe Bryant Academic Award was kinda pushing it.

                              How can you be deserving of being the namesake of a Big Ten Award if you didn't play in the Big Ten? That is the whole point. I understand the idea of wanting to honor all the institutions but come on. I mean at least Paterno coached in the Big Ten, I can ignore that one...but no Nebraska player should be on any Big Ten Award, they have yet to play a conference standing game yet. Wait ten years and if in that time they have some player that is just dominant and worthy of an award name then give it to them.
