CHICAGO ? Big Ten Conference commissioner Jim Delany was uncommonly revealing Monday, saying there will be no name change for the Big Ten despite the addition of Nebraska in 2011, there almost certainly will be a conference championship game in football next year, divisional alignment will be determined in 30 to 45 days and adding a ninth conference game won?t happen immediately but probably will within a few years.
But not even the conference?s all-powerful commissioner had an answer for everything at first day of the Big Ten?s football media get-together.
