Will this bring any positive change? Doubt it.

No. Like IU athletics, it will just be more of the same except with a different name.

Watch for the replacement to be west coast affiliated.

Gene Smith has been the de facto commissioner for some 15 years.

Good.

Maybe Mike Woodson should nominate Mike Woodson for the job

In fairness, I've seen nothing but positives from his time with the Vikings, mostly his work on building their new stadium which is by most accounts incredible. And also, anyone would be better than the man he is replacing in Chicago.

Probably decided to leave after Coach Woody made the case that B1G refs suck.

And the commish had no answer to that.

(Except: you get what you pay for.)

Surely taking action on Woodson’s complaint about McCaffery is at the top of his punch list before departing? DWS

Warren may have moved on but he left his successor with quite a mess according to  ESPN and a lot of unhappy campers.

His main job with the Bears is to get the new stadium built.  He did the same thing with the Vikings and that place is supposed to be incredible.

Usually that’s pretty heavily ownership tilted in terms of involvement in getting the public financing, which is usually the key to entire deal. So it’ll be interesting to see how he fares.   
 

That ESPN article—which could be worth nothing more than the paper it’s printed on—isn’t very flattering.

I didn't think it deserved its own thread but its more (happy) B1G news. No more Barta!
