Posted Jul 26, 2016
One of the most powerful people in college athletics just put a timeline on his retirement. Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany told reporters Tuesday at 2016 Big Ten Media Days he will not be around in six years when the league's media rights deal expires in 2022. "I'm won't be here in six years. I'm 68," Delany said. "Anything inside six years, very likely."
