Kevin Warren To Be Announced As New Big Ten Commissioner

This is about as “outsider” as it gets.

The Big Ten Conference has found a successor for Jim Delany, who announced his retirement in March. Delany is set to leave his post in June 2020. Kevin Warren, the chief operating officer of the Minnesota Vikings will be the next Big Ten commissioner. The Big Ten will have an announcement on BTN at 11 am this morning.

This is not a small surprise. The expected successor was Northwestern Athletic Director Jim Phillips. He knows the Big Ten. He’s built a decent athletic department at Northwestern amongst all the nerds. Everyone knows him.

Warren is not a Big Ten guy. He went to Penn, and has degrees from Grand Canyon (wut?), Arizona State and Notre Dame. He’s a lawyer who’s been in the NFL, and spent since 2015 at his current position with the Vikings, a failure of a franchise if there’s ever been one (I never miss a chance to take a shot at Vikes fans! WOoooooooo!).
