Yeah, not gonna happen.

Also in the linked article



First, I would love to be privvy to the meeting of presidents and chancellors when discussing State Penn's future in the Big Ten.

Second, I would be more disturbed if the Big Ten Conference Handbook (or NCAA Handbook, or any handbook) actually had language addressing harboring a pedophile for decades and having the people in positions of power cover-up for said pedophile. Handbooks are meant to give guidelines on basic, common sense, human decency.

Just posted this in another thread.
Here's the manual... link

And here's the part I find interesting...

B. Concentration of Power
?Concentration of Power? means the exercise of power by an actor who, under the Member
Institution?s structure, does not have the responsibility for that action or the express delegation of
authority to take that action. This exercise of power can occur in several situations. The
following non-exclusive list sets for three common examples of how improper concentration of
power occurs:
? where authority to act is delegated that should not have been delegated;
? where authority to act is assumed or asserted but has not actually been delegated; or
? where improper leverage is exerted by an actor, e.g., by a Trustee/Regent, administrator,
coach, booster, elected official or other person, by virtue of the actor?s position, status,
influence, relationship or otherwise.
A major cause of the erosion of institutional control of athletes is the concentration of
power in individuals who use it to distort institutional governance of decisions and processes
affecting athletics, such as, for example:
? interference with the normal admissions, compliance, or discipline processes of the
Member Institutions
? undue influence in the hiring of superiors and others;
? overriding or bypassing the established line of delegated authority; or
? leveraging relationships for financial or other gain.

I don't have a problem with the proposal. If you read the details, Delaney doesn't have final say over firing coaches. He has to take it to the Big Ten Presidents and get a vote of approval.

What I think this is meant to prevent is a situation where a Barry Switzer takes up residence, and the school essentially thumbs its nose at the rest of the conference and ncaa. Or liken it to a Paterno situation where he still had another 10 years ahead of him, and ped aggy pretty much said, "fuck off; he's staying."

Essentially, it's the Big Ten Presidents making the decision with Delaney simply acting as the tip of the spear.

Jim Delany and Big Ten would have power to suggest to a member school that a coach be fired. Not actual power to do so, says Gene Smith

Jim Delaney currently has the power to suggest anything he wants to schools, including whether or not they should fire their head coach and a whole lot of other things.

Me thinks Gene doesn't know what he is talking about or is out of the loop. What a shocker.

I'm guessing that this would be backed up with conference penalties/suspension/expulsion if the "suggestions" weren't followed.

Meh. Unless there's some stipulations in there, I don't like it. If it's left to a vote amongst the Big Ten Presidents, how do we know they aren't a bunch of gob-smackers?

Say the coach of XYZ runs up scores and beats the other schools down like they probably deserve to be. Can they fire him for being a jerk? What if they catch him watching re-runs of Fraggle Rock? Or Golden Girls? What if they find out he has a stamp collection or what if he says the "F" word in front of a recruit? What if he winks at a woman 2 years younger than him? What if he kicks a player off his team for drug abuse? What if he wins 80 Big Ten games in a row? I mean, what has to happen before they would vote whether to fire the coach? It should be the school's job to fire the coach.

Primed and dangerous: Big Ten looks to get back on title track

jim-delany-p1.jpg

Jim Delany has positioned the Big Ten to contend nationally on an annual basis -- if it produces good enough teams.

Behold Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany, whose gimlet eyes and gleaming pate are as iconic in this conference as the Horseshoe and "Hail to the Victors." Widely regarded as one of the smartest men in college athletics, the 64-year-old has been on a serious roll since 2007. He was the driving force behind the groundbreaking Big Ten Network. Launched five years ago amid considerable skepticism, it is now available in 80 million North American households and has basically given the conference a license to print money. Two years ago, as SARDS (Superconference and Realignment Derangement Syndrome) swept the nation, Delany calmly plucked Nebraska from the Big 12 and called it a day. By so doing, he prudently avoided the temptation to expand for the sake of expanding but gave his conference enough teams -- an even dozen -- to cleave itself into divisions, enabling it to host a lucrative championship game.
Once a point guard and a co-captain at North Carolina under Dean Smith, Delany has long been accustomed to dictating terms, calling the shots. But in the high-stakes drama that dominated this past offseason -- shaping the format of the Football Bowl Subdivision's now-inevitable playoff -- he found himself working with less leverage than usual. That will happen when the conference you represent has won exactly 1? national championships in the last 40 years, while the conference represented by your main rival has won the last six. Thus did Delany find himself in the unaccustomed role of beta male to SEC commissioner Mike Slive's alpha in the ongoing discussions about what a playoff will look like when it arrives in 2014.

Jim Delany signed through 2018

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany received a contract extension in 2011 that was never announced publicly, the league confirmed to ESPN.com on Monday.

The league's Council of Presidents and Chancellors in 2011 approved a contract extension for Delany through June 30, 2018.

The Big Ten in 2008 announced an extension for Delany through June 30, 2013.

Delany's contract extension ensures he'll guide the Big Ten through its next television rights negotiation. The Big Ten's current agreement expires after the 2016-17 athletic year.
