Seems like a strong hire for where college football is today. I feel like league offices need this guy and the former AD who actually knows what it's like to run an athletics department. I'd love to see the B1G lead the way in changing the model at conference offices. Dave Brandon seemed like a good business hire at one time...and then, yeah. But then he was succeeded by a successful business man who did a great job during his short stint as AD. So you never know. I just think the job is too big for one person to lead. Give me this guy, plus someone with equal influence, who has been on a college campus. As of right now, the next highest ranking official in the B1G is a Gene Smith disciple from OSU (Diana Sabau). Can't imagine that's great for Michigan. One of Warde's most underrated strengths was he has a good relationship with Kevin Warren after Brandon (and Brandon's predecessors) left Michigan is a big time hole. And Warde kept a good relationship with the league despite a head football coach, who let's be honest, many people outside of Michigan can't stand. Anyway, interested to see how this hire turns out. In reading about him, he definitely has the credentials. Far more qualified than Warren (who had huge shortcomings, but did a GREAT job with the decisions that mattered...the TV deal and USC/UCLA).

April 11th, 2023 at 8:00 PM ^ I was originally for them joining. Solid sports, AAU, pretty good media market. Seattle B1G alumni base. Washington is an R&D powerhouse. Partners for LA teams. But Orgeon is not an academic powerhouse, travel costs AND the PNW is NOT a recruiting hot bed. It would lessen the size of the pie for current members... not grow it. Plus it would be the death of a sister conference. I'm on the fence with this one.

Their next TV deal is going to be with the CW. Get the teams that matter and do well before they get poached. If Washington and Oregon are a package deal, I do that all day. Recruiting is national, so you don’t really need the hotbed angle. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to some of the other schools. How many flagship universities of large populous states aren’t in a large conference? What happens to Cal, Zona, etc.?
