B1G removes Paterno from Championship Trophy

Great idea I picked up on in a Husker thread. The name of the B1G championship trophy is the Stagg-Paterno trophy.

Sign this petition to remove Paterno's name from the trophy.

Petition: Commissioner, Big Ten Conference: Remove the name Paterno from the Big Ten Football Championship Trophy. | Change.org


CBS is already reporting that the Amos Alonzo Stagg family is already having qualms with being associated with the POS.

Stagg family may have issues with Paterno scandal - CBSSports.com

Could it just be called the The Pedo Bowl?

Proposed change: The Stagg-Hayes Trophy.

Come on guys, you know that's best.

Or maybe the Hayes-Schembechler Trophy

Anyone else notice Baus shaved his beard? I think a memorial for his beard is very necessary.

In all seriousness it should just be renamed the Amos Alonzo Stagg Trophy. Joe Pa getting equal footing with Stagg was always a joke anyways. I mean he's also in the basketball hall of fame, Stagg was a true legend!!!!

Here are some of his contributions:

Paterno's name to be removed from Big Ten title trophy | Lion Eyes | 11/14/2011

It's now official! And rightfully so at that! Today the Big Ten commissioners announced that Joe Pa's moniker will not grace the Big Ten Conference Championship Trophy. Thank you B1G for having a brain.
