my prediction for CBS Sportsline most relevant in college football #1

It is Jim Delany of the big ten.

"Those are side issues compared to the awesome power wielded by Delany and the Big Ten. He controls the conference that encompasses one quarter of the U.S. population. There are 3.3 million Big Ten living alumni willing to travel and spend to watch their heroes.

There are only a few places where football games are cultural events. The Big Ten is one of them.

On any given Saturday, televisions in Chicago, Detroit and Minneapolis (not to mention New York and L.A.) fill up with Big Ten games. The difference since Delany took office in 1989 is that the conference is at an all-time high."

 

they forgot to mention in that blurb that all Big Ten schools suck except Ohio St and Michigan. That would make that column complete IMO.
