More sad news from Happy Valley. The Big Ten Conference has taken Joe Paterno's name off the Big Ten's championship trophy. Jim Delany, commissioner of the Big Ten stated on Monday that it was "inappropriate" to keep Paterno's name on the trophy, which will awarded December 3rd after the Big Ten title game. The trophy was named the Stagg-Paterno Championship trophy, but now will take on its new name, the Stagg Championship trophy. It is sad to see this happen to a man who did so much for Penn State University. He wasn't just the face of athletics at Penn State, he was the face of the University. Penn State is not out of the fire yet, it will be a long time before this situation is resolved. I can't wait to see what will happen in the weeks to come.
