While there was talk of Commissioner Jim Delaney and the Big Ten revisiting the names of their two football divisions, it appears that "Legends and Leaders" will remain through the 2011 football season, to allow time for market research to be conducted on the effectiveness of the names. I still don't think its as big of a deal as the competitive balance that the Big 10 will have in 2011.
In football, USC is down to just 59 scholarships after one of their receivers left the program recently. Over the past summer, the Trojans infamously received a heavy probation from the NCAA, resulting in a two year bowl ban and a loss of ten scholarships per year. I know the Trojans played under the regular 85 scholarships this season, but 59, wow!
A feel good story out of Houston: QB Case Keenum has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA. Keenum was on pace to break several NCAA records before tearing his ACL in a September game, sidelining him for the rest of the season. In 2009, Keenum passed for 5,671 yards.
