Delany retiring at Big Ten
by UpperEastSideIrish (2019-03-05 11:27:06)

I've always found him to be someone who would destroy college athletics to make a buck. He's turned the Big Ten into a hodgepodge of teams that have no relation to one another and destroyed the traditional feel of his league. He also hates ND. Generally, I think he did more bad than good for college athletics. He started the random conference forming binge when he took Nebraska from the Big XII, where they belong.

This article makes an interesting point, though - the new guard (whom I'm sure will be just as greedy as Delany) wants an expanded College Football playoff. I would strongly oppose that. The "every game matters" feel of the regular season is unique to college football. 4 teams solved many of the problems of the BCS while keeping almost all of that "you can't drop a game" feel. It's working fine. It shouldn't be changed so UCF gets to travel to Tuscaloosa and get blown out or the third best team in the SEC clamors for the final playoff spot after a 9-3 season.
