Earlier today, the ESPN Big Ten blog reported:
Both Penn State and Ohio State can be named official Leaders division champions this season — and, in Penn State’s case, during the next three seasons — despite the postseason ban. The teams even would earn a trophy from the league for winning the division. The division representative in the Big Ten title game would not have the “champion” label if it finishes second or third in the standings.
So the Buckeyes, despite their ban, could still earn a trophy for 2012. Do you see this as a motivating force for the players or has Urban Meyer already done a good enough job of motivating them?
