Big 10 Expected to Hire Tony Petitti as Commissioner
White smoke came billowing out of the upper windows of the Big10 conference center in Rosemont, Illinois earlier today (or it could have been all the interns vaping, it’s hard to tell), signifying the appointment of a new Big10 Commissioner.
Sources: The Big Ten is expected to hire former MLB and CBS Sports Executive Tony Petitti as the league's next commissioner.
