[QUOTE="Mescalero, post: 5149300, member: 21439"] Rumors are swirling. I wish the Big Ten had a commissioner as strong as and with the vision of Sankey. Kevin Warren leaves much to be desired. Too bad Jim Delaney didn’t delay retirement for a few more years. Gene Smith, OSU’s AD, was quoted last week at media days that Warren’s name was not on the Big Ten search committee’s list of 9 commissioner candidates. Gene would know since he chaired the committee. “I have no idea how Warren got the job.” He literally said that on air. That was a shot across the bow. Allegedly UT and OU approached the Big Ten the same time they approached the SEC. Big Ten was interested in Texas, but not OU because OU isn’t an AAU member. Another rumor is USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Colorado have reached out to the Big Ten. USC said to be pushing hard. Who knows. I don’t want UCLA. That would mean Cal. Lawrence Livermore Labs would be great along with the great academics and research, but no thanks to the CA political baggage that UCLA and Cal would bring. USC is private and doesn’t bring the CA politics. Big Ten Network pays out $55 million to each school. Ohio State and Michigan are not giving up over $1 billion each in research money for $5 million of football money. But the conference is going to have to respond, but that gets back to the ineffectual Kevin Warren. [/QUOTE]
