Jim Delany (B1G Commissioner)

Hopefully he doesn't have a strange Rose Bowl fetish

Wait and see... i just pray if he puts PAC and SEC tourism above conference, like Delany has, that Ord isnt going to accuse me of being racist like he does wrt Drake.

I think that ship has sailed. They're ACC in everything but football and hockey and I don't see the B1G matching that deal.

God i hope it has.

Jim Delany still not thrilled with College Football Playoff Selection Committee, believes SEC/ACC snub would spur immediate expansion

Jim Delany’s involvement in college football is coming to a close but the outgoing Big Ten commissioner still has a little bit more to say on the subject.

Speaking to ESPN this week, Delany noted how painful it has been for his league to be left out of the College Football Playoff and that immediate expansion to six or eight teams could be on the horizon “immediately” if two of his Power Five peers were ever left out out the postseason tournament for the national title.

“The thing that would probably trip it is if the committee left out a champion from the ACC or SEC,” Delany said. “That would be an immediate catapult forward, as it was when Auburn (in 2004) was left out.”

While the undefeated Tigers getting snubbed to play for the BCS National Championship that season in favor of USC and Oklahoma no doubt changed the thinking about a playoff for many in the South, it probably wasn’t the final push to the current setup that the 2012 BCS title game was when Alabama beat LSU in a regular season rematch. Still, his larger point about either of those two leagues getting left out prompting expansion is likely spot on (with plenty of additional support from the Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12).

... nice of him to identify the problem.
He realizes he's one of the few in position to actually do anything about it?
Or he coudld just go on the network responsible for this and complain?
