Delany: SEC 'step ahead' of rival leagues - Chicago Breaking Sports

Delany, in a telephone interview with the Tribune, chimed in on a few other topics:

-- He hinted that Legends and Leaders will remain as the Big Ten's division names, saying: "We'll give it time to breathe. I think ultimately it will be a sustainable thing."

:rolleyes:

Claimed to listen, but in the end, he just hopes the complaints go away.

Edit: No, I don't really care if I spelled his name right or not.
 


This guy is such a clown.

1. He bags on non-AQ teams and then his conference's best team gets beat by one in the Rose Bowl.

2.He supports the worst thing to happen to college football in years, the BCS.

3. He had an 11 member conference and only played 8 conference games for nearly 20 years which made outright championhips a rarity.

4. Legends and Leaders, wow just wow.

How does this guy have a job???

College Football would greatly benefit if this guy just went away.

How does this guy have a job? Because he's created a cash-cow, that's how. All of your points are valid, but Delany has spearheaded the BTN and the cash infusion that is going to each B10 University.

Didn't you know that $$$$$ talks? :D

Ahh....(Still thinking of a response)

Yeah, you got me. Can't take that away from the guy. B10 teams are making a lot of money right now.

At OSU, even the players are.
 


My guess is Legends and Leaders are here to stay. There was even a Big 10 commercial spot lighting the new alignment yesterday during the Rose Bowl I believe. Just goes to show you that The Big 10 does not hear the fans!!!
 




I smell a new slogan...

"The Big10 Conference, eh...you'll get used it...eventually!"

Or

"The Big10 Conference, sit down and shut up!"

Not very catchy...could use some more work...
 












Aside from the debacle with the logo and division names, Delaney is a great conference commissioner. The revenue he has generated for all Big Ten schools is reason enough for us to give him the benefit of a doubt.

The guy is a bulldog. When he speaks, people listen. He's always been very professional in his approach and under his leadership, the Big Ten has been a pioneer in college football (replay, BTN, etc...)
