This seems like a strange choice...
The plot thickens!Minnesota Professional Sports Authority's plant to keep the Gophers sucking another 50 years?

I'm by no-means a diehard Vikings fan, but you can't deny that they're a very well-run organization from a business standpoint. Any chance he tells Rutgers and Maryland to go ahead and find a new home before they're forcibly removed? Probably not, but a guy can dream.

Why don't you like money?
I like money just fine. I'm not personally getting any money from the Big Ten. Is there a form I should have filled out?
Looks like he played basketball for one year at Penn and then three years at a small Arizona school. Law degree from Notre Dame.
Maybe he already has relationships with Fleck, Coyle, and Pitino (would be nice if this benefitted the U of M programs).

I find it hard to imagine Minnesota gets any kinda leverage in the B1G... under any circumstances.
Dude deadline was like 3 years ago...
cue Sid:
"My close personal friend, Kevin Warren, the B1G commissioner, will be our guest this week on the Sports Huddle......"
Honestly, having a B1G commissioner who has ties to the Twin Cities and the Gophers can't hurt. Also a guy with ties to the Vikings. I could see the Twin Cities make a serious bid to have the B1G Championship game at US Bank, or host a bowl game.
And, the B1G scores points for looking progressive by hiring a minority as Commissioner.
This seems like a strange choice...
There have been plenty of NFL hires where NFL guy just doesn't get the weird nuances of college football and universities.
Exactly right, best commissioner in college sports history, excluding the LEGENDS and LEADERS decision. (Had to throw that in there). Actually he has been a genius, and made the B1G conference the financial envy of college sports.Also want to take a moment to thank Jim Delany for all of his work. I haven't agreed with all of his decisions, but after seeing what has happened to all of the other conferences over the last few years, I don't think he could have done a better job.
He left the B1G as the #1 or #2 conference in college from a fiscal, competitive, and fan interest standpoint, that definitely wasn't always a given.
Very impressive job.
Strange choice? It's the top executive of a billion dollar sport entity, not a FB coach. He seems extremely qualified based on experience and education.
