Matt with some clever work.

Impressive Big Ten family connections, too.

Love the photos.

He lost me at to give fans access to all games over one streaming option. I guess he doesn’t get this after all. The fans aren’t the customers; they’re the goods. And the B1G just made a fat load of money by being able to distribute those goods to a bunch of different television providers who are each going to take their own chunk out of those fans’ wallets.

A nice tongue in cheek article from my fellow Licking Co native.

I can get behind beefing up the hockey league. I’d like to personally hand Jack Swarbick his notice that his hockey team can hit the road.

But if you're one of those fans - your interest is in that practice stopping.

So you'd still be behind the campaign. Do you work for Disney?

How about our very own St. David for C-USA special advisor to the commissioner

Judy clearly isn't going anywhere (literally and figuratively).

Give her a No. 2 who can immediately provide a comprehensive list of expansion candidates each time C-USA is bullied by poachers.

TV ratings, stadium expansion plans, academic value, the whole enchilada

I'd hire Matt.

David St would turn C-USA into a 32 member consortium whose tv deal would just be a $50 gift card to Outback Steakhouse for each of the ADs.

Awesome article. Matt gets my vote! Or, er, he would if I had one...

Satire isn't for everybody, it's cool.

I heard he was on the short list for the B1G commissioner. I have it from a reliable source, though the tweet has since been deleted.

can you guys believe I haven't gotten a call yet? They're probably waiting to finish staffing the search committee.

Gotta be the leading candidate.

Certainly the best platform.

It’s probably just a matter of crunching the financials to make sure they can afford you.

Why not me? There's no one here more Big Ten than me! I graduated from not one but TWO Big Ten universities, how many people can say that?

And if not me I'll throw Frank the Tank's name in the hat:)

He's got my vote just for expanding In&Out Burger.

Recruiting violation, isn't it?

If you have never been to In&Out Burger, let's just say it's faulty advertising!

You, Frank, and I ought to have important roles in the Matt Brown administration.
