Big Ten commissioner Delany retiring in 2020
The league announced Monday morning that commissioner Jim Delany will step down from his post when his contract expires on June 30, 2020. Delany has been in his current post since 1989.
“It’s been an amazing opportunity to serve and lead these preeminent institutions, presidents, administrators, coaches and students,” Delany said in a news release. “It is incredibly fulfilling to support the hundreds of thousands of young men and women who have been afforded an opportunity to obtain best-in-class educations as a result of the invaluable, one-of-a-kind lessons learned through the unique combination of athletic and classroom competition.”
