Title: Big 10 Commissoiner to Fire Coaches? Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 19, 2012, 03:53:42 PM Interesting concept, It will be interesting if they give him this authority.
Quote In the wake of the scandal at Penn State, the Big Ten Conference is considering a plan to give its commissioner the power to punish schools with financial sanctions, suspensions and even the ability to fire coaches. Quote The NCAA and U.S. Education Department are investigating Penn State for potential rules and policy violations; the issue of ''institutional control'' is believed to be a key part of the NCAA probe, since problems there can lead to athletic penalties. The Chronicle said the Big Ten is still discussing how to handle fallout from the scandal at one of its member schools; currently, its 12-member Council of Presidents and Chancellors must approve any decision to suspend or expel one of the league's schools. Quote As the fallout of the scandal at Penn State continues, the league could also consider kicking the school out of the conference, “one Big Ten leader” told The Chronicle. :popcorn2: http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/chronicle-of-higher-education-reporting-big-ten-considering-plan-to-give-commissioner-power-to-fire-coaches-071912 http://tracking.si.com/2012/07/19/big-ten-jim-delany-fire-coaches-penn-state-out/?xid=si_ncaaf Title: Re: Big 10 Commissoiner to Fire Coaches?

More NCAA control equates to anything "more government"-- I don't think it ever helps. Imagine had the NCAA stepped in on the Jimmy Johns case.
