Should The Big Ten Make Oliver Luck Commissioner? - outkick
Is Oliver Luck a potential option to be the next Big Ten commissioner? Should the B1G hire Luck? Who will the conference make commissioner?

Unfortunately I don't think we can get him, but Joey "The Clown" Lombardo. Just think of the media rights deal the BIG10 woud've gotten. At least 2-3x as much as current one.
Then Mad Sam DeStefano in charge of the conference Ethics Committee

I have a hard time seeing them not offer Phillips first, and I have a hard time seeing him say no

Sounds like the BIG is going to divvy up some of Warren's responsibilities. Don't sleep on Jennifer Heppel, Patriot League Commissioner: https://patriotleague.org/staff.aspx?staff=1
One of Delaney's proteges.

Barta wants next B1G commissioner to have ‘direct experience in college athletics’
“Television is No. 1,” Gary Barta told The Gazette, as the Big Ten searches for its next commissioner.

choice 1a - Phillips
choice 1b - Phillips
choice 1c - Phillips
I think the B1G still has to go through the motions of interviewing other people, just for appearances sake.
In the meantime, Phillips isnt going anywhere.
I believe that is the main reason for lack of discussion on it.
Article (Barta): "we don't want the same kind of Hollywood-style commissioner as the Big 12 and Pac 12".

hiring the search firm is just window dressing

God I'd love to be the search firm. Seems like the easiest consulting job in the world.

Can someone provide an argument for Phillips while discussing his tenure as ACC commissioner?
Seems conference commissioners come from a plethora of backgrounds. Most, to my knowledge have some sort of understanding or experience with athletics/athletic administration. Preference I would think a marketing background currently would be nice. That being said….
I have almost ZERO understanding, even of the big 10 after Delany, what the commissioners actually do (besides give Michigan an bball conf championship). Are they puppets for school presidents? Athletic directors? Just a face? Marketing experts? Negotiators? Some combination therein? Do they want something similar to the past or more ‘forward looking’? Seems we already know where the, football at least, lens is going and going to be for the foreseeable future. Is an ‘innovator’ even necessary?
Dunno, I was having a conversation with a very knowledgeable football guy, and both of us realized we weren’t really sure

Replying to my own comment b/c 15 mins has passed. Why not get just a ‘professional CEO’ that understands business? Ya know, the type that goes from company to company and is always CEO, even though it’s a different industry.
Report: The Big Ten could have a commissioner in place by May?
The Big Ten’s search for a commissioner could be over by May.

Due diligence takes time. If they fill the spot quickly and it backfires, people will complain they should have never rushed such an important decision. Also, I'm sure every AD in the conference is wanting to have an active voice in this search. That could easily slow things down considerably.
