Bowlsby a Commish Candidate?
- Thread starter CrossCyed
- Start date
I would prefer that the candidate be a Big 12 wonk. Bowlsby - no! Some ESPN ****** bag, absolutely no. If Castiglione is the closest thing to Big 12 power broker then maybe. It has to be someone that has POWER!
The next Big 12 Commissioner needs to be able to muster a better signature than Bowlsby can...

I'd pass on Bowlsby. What does he know about negotiating mega TV deals? The only thing he did at iowa was hire Ferentz and watch the money roll in. Not too hard to upgrade facilities when you're getting an extra $20M a season.
No problem with bowlsby. Has overseen a successful athletic department at Stanford. Has strong connections in Pac12 and B10 for possible scheduling arrangements, etc. And has seen firsthand how a powerful commish can steer a conference to heightened profitability and stability. Delaney and Scott have delivered their conferences mega-dollars through a strong executive-type role.
That is what we need. Someone who will develop/demand cohesion.

He has an $81,000,000 athletic budget at Stanford...so he should be able to be successful. Where has he demonstrated the ability to develop and demand cohesion?
Here's the grade he was given by a local reporter last June:
One man's opinion of course, but not exactly earth shattering...

Don't lie; you give him 7.5/10 and you would be his catcher.
The other prime candidate mentioned by Bohls is likely Britton Banowsky, the current CUSA commish who used to work in the B12 office.

Guy has a lot of power and very smart--would be good for the conference overall but horrible for ISU. Can't trust a Hawkeye and a former UNI AD. Worst combination ever. ISU-hater extraordinaire

His start date +1 month = either TV deal or expansion news IMHO. (Probably TV deal)
