Talking to ESPN.com blogger Adam Rittenberg, Big Ten commish Jim Delaney says no way.
Delaney was responding to comments made by Penn State coach Joe Paterno last week that the conference's mid-November end to its season hurts the conference's exposure, while putting it at a competitive disadvantage with other conferences. If Paterno had his way, there would be a Big Ten championship game.
Age=Wisdom.
But as long as Delaney is in charge, the Big Ten will remain 11, which is stirring up conversation on the Twitterfield:

Joe Paterno is not only a football coach, but man who has a way with words. A few Paternoisms, courtesy of the Twittersphere:
