It does not bother me that they boo the guy but I think Delaney is the best commissioner the Big Ten has ever had. He has been a step ahead of everyone else.
That's a easy one....he has wrecked college sports with his expansion and the natural rivals that are gone. In the next few years he will be looked at as a greedy fool which spoiled college sports. No one wants to see Maryland and Rutgers and adding those schools was just plain foolish.After the BTCCG, Delaney took the mic and when he was introduced I thought I heard the fans booing? Was I the only one?

Yeah, all he has done is pour millions of dollars into every B1G schools bank account.
I agreed with him on the all SEC BCS title game. You should have to win your conference to play in the NC game
It's not all about money dude. Penn State, Nebraska...those are great adds to the the tradition of the B10 and the credibility that comes from their success. Rutgers and Maryland are a joke to the prestige of the B10. It was all about TV markets and MONEY. I'd boo Devany too...I think it was worth it to wait for Notre Dame to come around...that trumps both those schools in one swoop. Hell, I think Missouri would have been a good get too and we balked there.
Well Alabama proved that wrong. The LSU vs Alabama NC pitted the best two teams in the country against each other and Alabama won it. We can argue in circles about this but the fact is the ultimate test is the eye ball test. Alabama that year would've killed any Conference champ that year, everyone knew they deserved to be in there they just didn't want to see a SEC vs SEC NC game so they hide behind some lame saying "you oughta win your conference".

I would've been fine with Mizzou and Maryland in the most recent expansion. Maryland at least has a good basketball program. The only thing Rutgers has is a huge television market that doesn't give a **** about college sports.
That jackhole oughta be booed everywhere he goes because
1) Rutgers
2) Maryland
Dbaglany diluted the B1G solely to try to force the Big Ten Network into the DC and NYC media markets, prestige and geographical integrity be damned.
What a farce.
