Yeah, for this alone I’m good with Jim. I know that some people aren’t fans and shit. All I know is that anywhere I am, even international, come a Saturday in the fall, I’m able to watch my Buckeyes.

And yeah, I’m fucking happy as hell to drive from Chicago to Indy every December to watch them play at Lucas. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Soldier Field In December. And Jesus fuck on a stick... there’s a god damn Skyline on the way home to Chicago.

Do not change a fucking thing.

I dig that he started the Big Ten Network, and gave the double-barreled middle fingers to ESPN. Except ESPN now returns the middle fingers whenever they get the chance.
But this playoff format sucks. If Ohio State is ever the #1 seed, the best we can hope for is to play in Atlanta?? And that's only when the stars align, once every 3 years. The other options are New Orleans, Pasadena, Miami, Dallas, and the Phoenix area. Sorry - I could write paragraphs about this, and it wouldn't be anything that hasn't already been said on this board. But I sure hope Delaney got something pretty awesome for conceding that point. Like a big stack of pancakes and a free lap dance at the local breakfast buffet/strip club.

Does anyone know if Lucas Oil is getting any involvement in the semifinal games? I know they are scheduled to host the NC game in 2022.

If they aren't already, they should absolutely raise their hand for a game.
Indy gets remarkable praise for their SB and Final Four hospitality. Get your name in the hat for future games!

I don't. But you'd think a guy like Jim Delaney would have it. I'd imagine that he gets pretty angry if his usual table isn't available.

I believe Delaney got the scoop on this joint from Robert Kraft. Bigger names attend this place as well, per Schefter.

Cannot wait for that one. Within about 13 months, we have the following here:

-February 2021: NBA All-Star Game
-April 2021: Men’s Final Four
-December 2021: Big 10 Football Championship
-January 2022: College Football Playoff Title Game
-March 2022: Big Ten Basketball Tourney

I'm going broke.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER KEVIN WARREN EXPECTED TO BE NAMED NEW BIG TEN COMMISSIONER, PER REPORTS

104568_h.png


Minnesota Vikings chief operating officer Kevin Warren is expected to succeed Jim Delany as the Big Ten's new commissioner, according to multiple reports.

670 The Score's Mully and Haugh were the first to report that the Big Ten is expected to hire Warren, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, ESPN's Adam Schefter, Yahoo's Pat Fordeand The Athletic's Matt Fortuna have all reported the same.

The Big Ten is set to officially introduce its new commissioner in a press conference Tuesday at noon that will be televised on BTN.

Warren has been the Vikings' COO since Feb. 12, 2015, and is the highest-ranking African-American executive working on the business side of an NFL team. He would become the first African-American commissioner of a Power 5 collegiate conference.

Delany, who has been the Big Ten's commissioner since 1989, announced in March that he would retire at the end of his current contract, which expires on June 30, 2020.
