With the Big Ten poised to make some huge changes, let's not forget what happened the last time the conference transformed itself.
"I think we have enough experience with names, and expansion and development of divisions, to know that you never, rarely, get 90 percent approval rating," Delany said during the interview."But to get a 90 percent non-approval rating was, you know, really surprising."
That was a level of candor and reflection that we usually give people with power a decent amount of credit for showing publicly, but on the other hand I'm not sure how impressed we should be with someone for thinking"huh, maybe I'm wrong?" after days of thousands of people screaming at them that they're dumb.
and while I don't know that doing this would cause the calculus of the College Football Playoff to change much in favor of the Big Ten, I also don't think that the worst fears of Ohio State fans, at least will come to fruition either. The Buckeyes will remain the dominant force in the conference for the foreseeable future, and the chance of back-to-back games against Michigan is fairly slim .
The real question becomes: is the Big Ten under Kevin Warren as sensitive to the attitudes of fans and online discourse as it was over a decade ago? What kinds of moves and changes can they push, and would there be significant enough pushback from fans to change their approach? My gut says probably not."Legends" and"Leaders" seems quaint in 2022; both the naming and the idea that the names of divisions was enough to whip people up into an indignant frenzy. NIL, the real elephant in the room, feels more monumental than whatever deck chair on the Titanic represents how conferences make up their regular season football schedules.
