Big Ten Commissioner Jim .. umm .. Delany (official thread)



Since opening his own consulting business last year, former Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany has now joined with DDSports Inc. Delaney was recently hired on as a special adviser on strategy and partnership for the company’s ShotTracker tool.

“Jim Delany has always been a big thinker who gets things done, and that thought process will be welcomed and crucial for us as we expand and grow,” ShotTracker co-founder and president Davyeon Ross said in a statement. “He has always been a fervent supporter of our work, and it is a pleasure to have him officially part of our team now.”

ShotTracker utilizes ball, court, and player sensors to deliver live statistics and analytics to teams and broadcast networks instantly. It currently partners with 63 men’s and women’s basketball programs across 12 conferences.

“Sub-second latency, seamless broadcast integration, and greater content options for millions of fans are going to be essential for any technology that wants to engage as a business these days, and ShotTracker has all of that and more,” Delany said in a statement. “This is a platform that has been built for where college sports is heading in the coming years, both from a team analytics side and from a commercial side, and I am excited to be able to help participate in the expansion of the business.”

Just sayin': If he wanted to keep working he should have stayed on as B1G Commissioner and then we wouldn't be stuck with Kevin Warren.
