New Commissioner Kevin Warren

[Nighthawk]

Not specifically Husker Related, but still conference related  https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2019/06/04/vikings-coo-kevin-warren-named-big-ten-commissioner/ . He's going to have some big shoes to fill, but  from what little I've read on him sounds like he is going to be a great fit.

You mean …

 

Is no longer The Commissioner?

Somehow I knew Gordon would come up.  haha!

As a lifelong Viking fan this is the kiss of death... the “Whiskey Bottle”game in ‘75, the Gary Anderson FG, the “Love Boat” the “Whizzanator” & on & on. His resume won’t remove him from the entrenched futility that he’s been a part of...

[Handy Johnson]

I can’t believe this isn’t getting more ink. The ONLY commissioner the B1G has ever had is being replaced by some Viking’s front office yahoo I’ve never even heard of. I hope he’s up to the task, that Kirk Cousins contract gives me pause...

Yeah, I'm  also kind of shocked it's getting next to no comments here on the board.  granted it's not specifically husker basketball related, but this guy will have an impact on Husker hoops in some form or another.

Delany was the 5th commissioner in Big 10 history.

Ronnie Green would have a bigger day-to-day impact on Nebraska. How much do we talk about him?

My bad, he’s the only one WE’VE ever had since joining the Conference correct? The TV deal he swung, along with the creation of the BTN were master strokes of business acumen...

True...but exactly how much of an impact does John  Beiline have on Husker hoops.  Must have a lot more impact than the  Commissioner. .

He does the best impersonation of Al Gore I've ever heard.

[hhcmatt]

He's out

Have we calculated the Burno to Warren conversion rate yet?

Will Jim Phillips return from the ACC?

Delany was around for decades, but KW was around until the better fit turned up for him. It seemed like KW liked himself most.

 

 

[Handy Johnson]

I guess we can cross Ricketts name off the list to replace him…

Anyone hearing any talk on potential replacements for Big Ten commissioner? And a potential timeline. . . I assume KW takes over Bears relatively quickly.

His name is I will do whatever you want.  

[HuskerFever]

Oversimplifying here, but the job can't be all that hard, can it?

 

The massive media contract is already signed. UCLA and USC are joining the conference. They're positioned as the Big Two conferences.

I am hearing that "his name" will instead be "her name"  --  just saying it is a distinct possibility.

Ahh, Bruce/Kaitlin Jenner.  Makes sense.

[AuroranHusker]

 

 

Might as well change the thread title to "NEW COMMISSIONER" -- Tony Petitti appears to be the one to succeed KW. Petitti is tough to spell. I kept wanting to write Pettit.
