Follow-Up Article Regarding Jim Delany/Big Ten Officiating From Detroit Sports Nation

There was a forum post here yesterday about my recent editorial for Detroit Sports Nation regarding Jim Delany owing an apology to college football. Here is the follow-up article if anyone is interested.

More information has come to light about the crew for the game this past Saturday. One of the officials is from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Furthermore, I take a look at one possible solution to the problem regarding compensation for officials.

Thanks for reading.

Contact Big Ten Jim Delaney and tell him yesterday's officiating was terrible

We've been gypped by the Big Ten too many times in favor of OSU since 1973 culminating with that disgusting display of officiating by Ohio homers yesterday. If you care enough, feel free to email, message, call, or write a letter to Jim Delany and tell him we don't want to see this garbage ever again. There are of course more important things in the world that we should change and I highly recommend you do those as well.

OT thought: Jim Delany, NCAA Commish?

By ScruffyTheJanitor — July 25th, 2013 at 11:52 AM — 18 comments
Filed under:

  • Mark Emmert

Just to be clear- this is NOT a rumor.

But, with Jim Delany's comments at the Big Ten Media days and carnival, doesn't it seem like he's making a subtle move to become NCAA commish when Mark Emmert's reckoning finally comes (albeit in the form of a contract buy out or something).

[LINK]:

 

Delany's four-point plan came in advance of any comments he made about NCAA president Mark Emmert, who has been criticized by his colleagues in other conferences over the past two weeks...

"There's been a lot said about Mark Emmert," Delany said. "My view is Mark has done some good things and Mark has made some mistakes. Let me tell you this: Running the NCAA is real challenging.

"Most of the problems we see today preceded Mark Emmert, so the fundamental challenges to institutions and conferences and the NCAA were here before Mark Emmert walked in the door."

Delany also touched on the NCAA's scrutinized enforcement group, telling ESPN.com that the group has been "a lightning rod within a lightning rod." As a former NCAA investigator, he plans to study the situation further and provide some suggestions going forward.

"I would like to see the people who make the mistakes pay the price and see the institution pay a lesser price," Delany said. "I would like to see it clearer when an institution is in jeopardy on institutional control that that's reserved for the worst of the worst. And I want to make sure if you make a mistake, there's a process. ... We should be able to communicate better which are the major [infractions] and which are the not so major ones."

 

 

The man does have a pretty good resume, what with the Big Ten Network's success, instant replay, and being the major force behind conference expansion. Of course, that latter point might be his biggest mark against him, too. I am not sure there is anyone more qualified-- which

Big Ten Seeks Ability to Fire Coaches

By Michael — July 19th, 2012 at 10:41 AM — 29 comments
Filed under:
  • MGoBoard
  • Big Ten Conference
  • big ten council of presidents/chancellors
  • jim delaney

  • Penn State

A coworker sent this article to me just now. Apparently due to the ongoing situation at Penn State, the conference has been mulling a proposal that would give the commissioner, along with the presidents and chancellors, the ability to "penalize individual members of an institution, should their actions significantly harm the league’s reputation."

I'm not sure how I personally feel about this without seeing the proposal itself, but it would obviously be unprecedented.
