Big Ten removes Joe Paterno's name from championship trophy

Jim Delany: "We believe it would be inappropriate to keep Joe Paterno's name on the trophy at this time"

Jim Delany: "The trophy and its namesake are intended to be celebratory and aspirational, not controversial."

Big Ten football championship trophy will now simply be called: the Stagg Championship Trophy, named after Amos Alonzo Stagg
