Now we wait for the the rumors of the search to begin again

Who will replace Kevin Warren? A list of Big Ten commissioner candidates

Current commissioner candidates

Jim Phillips, ACC
Jennifer Heppel, Patriot League

Sitting athletic director candidates

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith:
Smith has been the Big Ten’s most powerful voice this side of Warren. (Some would say even more powerful than Warren, at least in the commissioner’s early days.) Does he want to take on this challenge at this stage of his career? Smith is 67, eight years older than Warren. He signed an extension with the Buckeyes in 2021 that will keep him in Columbus through 2026, which would mark 21 years at the school. Smith would be a popular hire and a stabilizing one with all of the good things the Big Ten has going for it. But the conference may want someone younger and more innovative, as most of its pressing business concerns matters that will take place in 2030 (the last year of the new TV deal) and beyond.

Stanford athletic director Bernard Muir
UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond

Non-campus candidates

Mark Silverman, President and COO of Fox Sports
Ted Carter, University of Nebraska System president
Kerry Kenny, Senior Vice President, Television, Media Analytics & Emerging Platforms at the Big Ten
Cathy Engelbert, WNBA commissioner
Tim Pernetti, IMG Academy president
Chris Howard, ASU Public Enterprise executive VP/COO

Big Ten commissioner candidates: Gene Smith, Jim Phillips among top options to replace Kevin Warren

Jim Phillips, ACC commissioner

Burke Magnus, ESPN television executive

Mark Silverman, Fox television executive

Gene Smith, Ohio State athletic director: Smith, 66, has been with the Buckeyes since 2005, but he's held AD positions at various schools since 1986. His long tenure with Ohio State makes him a natural fit since he is intimately familiar with the successes and failures of the conference's previous to commissioners. Plus, his experience with college football's growth into a big business has to be attractive to a conference that has been at the forefront of the shift into the era of super conferences.

Kerry Kenny, Big Ten executive

Actually, I'd like to see Gene Smith get the job.
