1991: Jim Delany on Big Ten Expansion -- With all the hoopla about a new round of conference realignment, I thought it would be fun to listen to Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany’s comments from 20 years ago on his conference’s expansion to include Penn State.

LOOK! UP IN THE SKY! IT'S CORPORATE MAN!
It takes a real head honcho to remember to say, unprompted, Thrifty Holiday Bowl.

The SeaWorld Holiday Bowl was better
for obvious reasons, beside the atrociously incredible feature on the PSU team visit to SeaWorld during the 1989/90 bowl game.

Or should it be "incredibly atrocious"?
Either way, it was bad.

Thank you.
There will be a lot more of these kinds of videos (not just those 10 Min. or Less) coming up.
Tim and I even found a few basketball ones with Bruce Parkhill. I might post one of those next week.

Is it just me,
or does Delaney look pretty much the same then as he does now?
Word on the street is you're a jerk, Mitchell.
I don't know, I thought the age difference was actually quite striking

That being said,
he still looks like a B-movie villain. Just a younger one.

Cool idea, thanks!
Ok, I listened for one primary thing: the sound of his huge stones knocking against each other under that mic. Sure sounded on top of his game. I wonder what Mark Shapiro was doing in 1991. Wait, the google machine can tell me:
Prior to ESPN, he served in various positions for NBC Sports from 1989 to 1992.
After getting pwned by Delaney in the telly negotiations a few years later, he managed to leave a wake of shit everywhere he went. He also made a shitton of money.

The fact that Mark Shapiro made a lot of money is proof that life isn't always that hard.

Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.
Now, stupid, on the other hand, stupid’s got plenty to do with it.
