As the dust cleared late last week following the NCAA Board of Directors' demolition job on the ban of satellite camps, a shadowy figure stood in the background -- figuratively speaking, of course.
Could you see him?
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany remained primarily on the sideline during this latest round of debate on the hot-button issue. Delany does not sit among five conference commissioners on the 40-person Division I Council, which, on April 8, enacted the legislation to shut down satellite camps that the board reversed last Thursday.
The 24-member board of directors, chaired by South Carolina President Harris Pastides, includes 20 school presidents and chancellors, one student-athlete, one faculty athletic representative and chair Jim Phillips, the Northwestern athletic director.
