BIG TEN The Big Ten will gladly dismantle you if that's what it decides is best

I love the headlines, but the best part is this quote in the article:

Aggressive language was liberally sprinkled into B1G commissioner Kevin Warren’s opening statement at Big Ten Media Days.

Strength. Power. Boldness. Authority. Dominance.

Warren emphasized each of those words as he made it clear the Big Ten won’t take a backseat — or even ride shotgun — with any other conference.

This quote says a lot about Warren and what we really don't know about this man:

This move was about sensing the Pac-12’s weakness and exploiting it. Warren revealed a nugget that suggests he played Kliavkoff like a fiddle in their supposed partnership.

Warren said that he went into his interview to replace Jim Delany as B1G commissioner with an eye toward which schools would add value to the conference. USC and UCLA were near the top of that list.

“I studied every one of the universities across the country. One of the things that jumped out about USC, UCLA, and even the market of Los Angeles — the largest section of Big Ten alumni, other than in the Midwest, is in Los Angeles.

Enjoyed Warren’s speech very much . It is necessary to have that type mindset.

The problem is that the sport is made up of more than one conference so what happens in other conferences does affect the Big Ten. If the whole thing comes crashing down the Big Ten goes with it.
