The BCS Conference Commissioners
Sunday, February 27, 2005 at 04:09PM Get to know these gentlemen, because they are making many of the big
decisions within college football. For whatever reason, college
football has less name brand appeal to its decisionmakers. Think
about it, most fans know the name of every owner, GM, Vice President,
and capologist in the league, as well as several NFL executives and
associates. That is not the case in college football.
In that regard, I sense there is a lack of public awarness to the
personalities and actions of the prominent figures within the
game. This can foster an environment of low accountability, where
fans get mad at "The NCAA" or "the conference", but the individual in
charge maintains low visibility and thus accountability. This
isn't to suggest the commissioners or the folks at the NCAA are doing
anything wrong. Only that the current environment is one where
the institutions, at their most basic and generic, get credited with
unpopular events instead of the individuals within the institutions.
Anyway, here are their names and brief biographies-
- Big 12: Kevin L. Weiberg-Bio
- Conference USA: Britton Banowsky-Bio
- Western Athletic Conference: Karl Benson-Bio
- Mid-American Conference: Rick Chryst-Bio
- Big Ten Conference: James E. Delany-Bio
- Pacific 10 Conference: Tom Hansen-Bio
- Southeastern Conference: Mike Slive-Bio
- Atlantic Coast Conference: John Swofford-Bio
- Mountain West Conference: Craig Thompson-Bio
- Big East Conference: Mike Tranghese-Bio
- Sun Belt Conference: Wright Waters
- Notre Dame: Kevin White, Athletic Director-Bio
