| Jim Delany/Nice Haircut |
More and more after reading about Big 10 Commissioner Jim Delany, we've come to the belief he wants to be the King of or the Ayatollah or Premier or some big name title of all things college football.
He's not getting any of those titles...and after Mike Slive out maneuvered Delany on the College Football playoff, he's not even the most powerful guy in the game...as much as he'd like to be.
That being said, he is apparently trying to extend his reign of terror in the Big 10.
According to a report released today in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Mr. Delany wants to gain the power to file football coaches.
Mind you, the report says, it would be part of a proposal to give Delany and a committee of the league's presidents that would provided the ability to penalize individuals at a school if their actions hurt the leagues reputation.
Supposedly, this is a spin off the Penn State fiasco, but we don't totally buy that. Because while we get the idea the conference has no way to handle or deal with what happened in Happy Valley, this isn't the way to approach it.
Just read through the story from the Chronicle RIGHT HERE
Honestly, we do get what the 10 is wanting to do, we just think this isn't EXACTLY the way to do it. Seriously, if Delany gets this power, what's to say he doesn't decide that Minnesota Coach Jerry Kill should be fired because the Gophers have been awful and are hurting the league's reputation?
Really.
This opens that part of "Pandora's Box". Of course we know full well Delany and his cronies will say, "No we'd never do that". And maybe they won't. But this would give them that option.
Yeah, we get the argument the Conference needs to protect themselves and their schools from Rogue problem causers or in the case of Penn State, a "Holier than thou" administration. But this isn't the way to do it.
But then again, it is Jim Delany. And when you are Jim Delany, you have to keep trying to convince yourself that it's "Good to be King".
