Original Title: [Canzano] Michigan Regent Jordan Acker: "(Stanford and Cal) not joining the Big Ten is the biggest indictment of them all. You’re talking about two of the best academic universities in the world and they don’t have a spot in the Big Ten conference. It tells you exactly what it is — a business.”
This was pulled from a radio interview available here:
Further Snippets:
• “The presidents have ceded the power to the commissioners who have ceded the power to networks. If you want to know what the primary problem is in college sports — that’s it — that’s what it comes down to.”
• “Sure, we can say the Big Ten is responsible and the Big Ten killed the Pac-12, but this has been going on for a very long time… this has been a constant in college sports. It’s sort of like ‘When is enough enough?’ To me, this is enough.”
• “It’s a completely different world for the tennis team, for the soccer team. Those are Olympic sports and those should be regionalized. There is no need for a Michigan athlete to get on a plane in Detroit and fly through Seattle to Eugene for a regular Big Ten game. That does not make any sense. Again, this comes down to university presidents to have to make this call and they haven’t… there are no grown-ups in the room.”
