Thoughts on new B1G Commissioner Kevin Warren - I'm impressed

[NittanyLion15]

Man did not look at a cue card one time. The fakeness corporate PC culture of Delany seems far away with the introduction to this new character.

It's no joke that most commissioners or franchise owners in sports are despised by the fans of the teams that play in that league or conference... but I have to say, this presser gets me off on the right foot with Kevin Warren. Here's hoping he guides the conference effectively and FAIRLY moving forward.




I will miss booing Jim Delany tho... not gonna lie.

Slightly curious to see if any attempt will be made to mend the fence.

Dunno...college athletics faces some huge challenges going forward. From what I've seen, his comments were almost exclusively focused on "diversity" and "inclusion"...with which higher ed is already obsessed.. Would like to have heard something re his views on other issues.

Does that mean we'll be forced to recruit more white football players? Screw that.

Personally, I noticed that all of our commissioners are bald. I would like to see more hair in the league offices.

Don't have the time to listen to the whole thing right now......

What couple of things did he say that impressed you the most?


Oh.... and at any time was there an announcement vav his contract terms? (years/money/etc)

If he can at least say the words Penn State that would be an improvement over the asshat, douchebag, delaney.

Diversity and inclusion. Does that mean that Penn State will finally be welcomed as an equal in the conference?

Wait. Never mind. I forgot that all conference schools are equal, but some are more equal than others.

 

[Pardlion]

Does "diversity" mean being inclusive of refs who don't suck?

I’m surprised Buffalo Lion hasn’t gone to Delany’s defense in awhile. Jimbo was always his boy because moneyz

My guess is they are too dumb to realize the fence is broken.

It’s all good because of the money coming in. Ignoring reality while focusing only on the money sounds a bit like being a whore.

Jimbo just hired the right consultants. I'm sure Warren's Rolodex is just as good, if not better..His current/former employer gives him high marks.
