New Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said he's ready to lead a conference that's on solid footing but insisted there are still hurdles to clear. The most immediate task, he said, is ensuring a smooth transition when Southern California and UCLA arrive next year.
New Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said he's ready to lead a conference that's on solid footing but insisted there are still hurdles to clear.
He will lead a conference that in the past year became the first to expand its footprint from coast to coast. The Big Ten also reaped a huge financial windfall, landing about $7 billion in media rights deals through 2030 with Fox, CBS and NBC to share the rights to football and basketball games."There's a lot of work to do, to make sure our partners are successful, that the the student-athletes are getting the benefit great media deals," he said.
"College athletics is one national ecosystem," Petitti said."The Big Ten competes across multiple states. We compete nationally for championships. I think that system deserves a national solution and a national system." "In terms of other bigger initiatives, I need more time on the ground before I start thinking about things specifically," Petitti added.
