Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren is leaving his job atop the college sports conference to become the president and CEO of the Chicago Bears, the organization announced Thursday.
Warren, a former college basketball player, also led the Big Ten through initiatives related to racial justice,The Big Ten’s presidents and chancellors said in a statement that they will work with Warren during “this transition phase” and begin a “national search” for the conference’s next commissioner.“[Warren] has guided the conference with an innovative spirit, a passion for people and exceptional business acumen,” the statement from the presidents and chancellors said. “...
Warren takes over the Bears amid a retooling of the team’s roster. They’ll have the top overall pick in the NFL draft after finishing the season with a 3-14 record under first-year coach Matt Eberflus. The Bears ended the season with the first 10-game losing streak in franchise history. They’ll have to decide whether to remain committed to Justin Fields as their franchise quarterback or draft a replacement with the No. 1 choice and trade Fields.
Warren’s primary focus will be the team’s deliberations over a new or renovated stadium. A developer working for the city released renovation plans this week to place a dome over Soldier Field and surround it with an entertainment and commercial complex. But the team has been focused on the prospective redevelopment of a suburban site at Arlington Park.The City of Chicago released a video showcasing the proposed $2.2B renovation to Soldier Field.
