Remove the name Paterno from the Big Ten Championship Trophy

Wow .. never thought about these. I'm curious to see how much steam this picks up. I'm going to bet that mainstream non-sports fans will pick up on this.

 
I don't understand why you would petition this. Paterno is the winningest coach in NCAA football history, and he deserves to have his name on that thing. It's not like he was the one who was barebackin' those little boys in the locker room...

 
Yea, way over the top. Suddenly he is a one dimensional man treated as if he actually took advantage of kids. He reported to he's superiors whatever was told to him and they did nothing about it. Sometimes you are a cog in the wheel, sometimes you just don't get involved, sometimes you make a bad decision not to get involved, but seriously despite being a popular coach, something he lived and breathed he did not run Penn State and he's focus was not likely to be the campus cop.

 
I am sorry but at this point and time I can't sign this petition. Joe Paterno made a HUGE mistake. I agree he should be fired. As well as anyone else who had knowledge of this terrible incident. I don't feel it is the B1G fans, any other conference fans, or whoever's decision to take Joe Pa's name off the trophy except the powers to be in charge of the B1G. Maybe once things calm down and I have time to think about everything that has taken place I will change my decision. As stated before this seems like a Knee-jerk reaction.
