PrintIt will be known as the Stagg Championship Trophy. Here is what Jim Delany had to say:
"We believe that it would be inappropriate to keep Joe Paterno's name on the trophy at this time. The trophy and its namesake are intended to be celebratory and aspirational, not controversial. We believe that it's important to keep the focus on the players and the teams that will be competing in the inaugural championship game."

Should never have been on it in the first place.
Not while Paterno was still a coach.
Had he retired without a cloud of disgusting things over his head, I’d be okay with it. Obviously, not anymore.
A Cornhusker through feast or famine. Get up, dust yourself off and run the ball. That's the Nebraska way.
