Just got off the phone with BTM.
I will tweet later this evening his thoughts on the new Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren and PAC 12 developments with PAC NewCo.

“Kevin Warren wasn’t a name anyone had on the tips of their lips through this process. The guy is all class and will probably be in the new seat for many years to come.”

“Warren has negotiated contracts as Viking’s COO in all kinds of different business spheres. Warren also knows marketing and markets in selling sports licenses.”

“Perception inside Big Ten of whom I spoken with since yesterday is the selection of Warren really helps with the transition of passing Delany’s torch to Warren who is believed to be perfect guy in working with an established B1G staff in Chicago.”

“Any COO of an NFL franchise as the requisite experience in managing relationships with Media Corporations. Warren has had to deal with FOX Sports over his career with the Minnesota Vikings”

“Big Ten’s perception, of those who’ve I talked with in regards to PAC 12’s initial Rain Group’s list of offers in Investment Firms investing into PAC NewCo, is its pretty dam ugly for PAC.”

“Many believe, of course this is only the perception of those on the outside (B1G), the PAC will kick the issue down the road some and not vote for an investment offer in June as scheduled”

“Dam ugly is the phrased used in describing to me the offers PAC received from the Rain Group who search for investment offers. I presumed the “ugly” adjective has to do with high equity margin, percentage needed for PAC to secure any of the deals, but I’m not sure.”

“Desperation in PAC might actually lead to some disunity which I never thought was in play before this event. But some in PAC may be desperate enough to lurch for and support internally some of these painful Investment offers.”
