This deserves its own thread, to discuss the possibilities moving forward and to reflect on Jim Delany's legacy.

Radio guys here in Columbus were talking about Big Jim's 30 years as commish, and how the addition of Rutgers has stained his otherwise remarkable career.

Warren can start with a bang and get rid of the 5 newbies, while bringing Chicago back in the fold.

I tend to view heads of commissions as showmen, not power men, with exceptions in some cases where the showman also drives the committee decisions.  It can be good to have a nice showman who really is more of a spokesman for what the heavy hitters decide in the back rooms.

The Head dude gets all the credit and criticism even if he is just a fancy PR person who smiles for cameras ...
