[QUOTE="SoCal Illini, post: 1865476, member: 749359"] 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 [/QUOTE]
