CHICAGO ? Legends and Leaders? Ha. The Big Ten Conference divisions look more like Legends and Losers now. The geographically challenged football alignments the Big Ten so painstakingly pieced together don?t look quite as even now that Penn State has been busted by the NCAA for covering up the atrocities committed by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. The Nittany Lions? sudden fall has created short- and long-term competitive-balance issues for the conference.
