Wonder if this has any impact on the conference race and realignment given he seemed to have big visions and ideas for the Big 10.
Kevin Warren moves on from B1G
- Thread starter JHUNSY
- Start date
Not even sure how I feel about this because nobody knew his future vision and how it will affect ISU. If he had a passion for trying to get Oregon, Wash, etc than that would change things.
I don't see how UCLA and USC don't push to get more PAC12 teams in the BIG so they are not on an island.
So the new guy will have his work cut out.

Anyone who followed Delany was up against it and always going to be a transitional commish. KW did some things pretty poorly, other things pretty well. The next hire is going to be huge.

I'm sure the Big 10 loves that their commissioner decided to hit the transfer portal.
The Covid decisions were a mess but that can mostly be laid upon the decisions by the school presidents. As for realignment...what has he done that hasn't been good for the Big Ten? And TV contract? I guess if you mean set everything on fire as meaning the rest of college football I would agree with you. But as much as I hate to say it...he is leaving the Big Ten is a very strong position. And if they hire the ACC commisioner to replace him they will even be better off (he will know exactly how to bring UNC/UVa and others on board).
They hire Yormark, and he merges the PAC, Big12, and ACC into the B1G and renames it "The American Collegiate Athletics Association of America"
B1G football is just Ohio State, a few B listers, and the rest of their little buddies.
Herby almost slipped on his lotion in the booth during the title game equating TCU’s blowout to a narrative that the Big 12 and PAC can’t hang with the SEC and the B1G.
Michigan got dogwalked by UGA in the CFP last season and lost to TCU a few weeks ago. The B1G isn’t what they think they are. Influence and $ will get more of their teams in the expanded playoff. I don’t see them winning a title outside Columbus anytime soon.

helps to try to ruin college sports as we know it and then moves on. Good riddance
The rumors were that he wanted to go to 20 and add Stanford, Oregon, Washington, and ND, but some of the current Big 10 presidents wouldn't sign off on it. Not sure how real that was, but wouldn't shock me if he felt there were too many egos to answer to in the commissioner role. Now he only has to answer to the McCaskey's lead the new stadium project (and likely team sale in the next decade or so).
Herby is fine breaking down some things on field I guess but when gets to macro stuff, he's a complete twat.
Yeah he went from having 16 bosses with differing views/goals to just having to appease a family rep. I’d take that move in a heartbeat.
The next Commish is basically starting on 3rd base, I would think it would be hard to phuck it up.
I highly doubt ND was ever in the fold.
The national media is freaking out that Big Ten teams didn't still get to play in the national championship game after losing in the semifinals. Biggest layup job in history of American sports.
Even when they lose, they win in the media.
I can't remember the last time Kansas lost one of their Final Four games and the media was outraged KU didn't still get to play in the championship game.
