Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany and his brethren from the other four football power conferences feel it?s time for the NCAA to restructure itself to better serve the athletic and academic needs of the larger schools.
But Delany said that he wouldn?t be in favor of the bigger conferences, including the Southeastern, Pac-12, Big 12 and Atlantic Coast, splitting off from the NCAA if this doesn?t happen.
?I don?t really go there,? he said at Penn State media day.
Delany said he didn?t expect the NCAA to complete restructuring ?in six months or 16 months.?
The NCAA spent the day working on a redesigned governance structure, as the board of directors and executive committees started discussing a major overhaul to how the organization works.
? ?A former Division II college star who disappeared in the Michigan wilderness during a fishing trip died of pneumonia caused by inhaling his vomit, according to an updated autopsy, after he became disoriented possibly because of painkillers combined with having a degenerative brain disease.
The report said that former Grand Valley State quarterback Cullen Finnerty?s anxiety and paranoia in the woods the night of May 26 might have been exacerbated by an ?elevated? level of oxycodone along with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain disease that has been found in a number of ex-football players.
The report said it?s likely that Finnerty, 30, had anxiety, disorientation and paranoia from being alone in the woods while waiting for his in-laws to pick him up. The pain medication was prescribed to Finnerty for back injuries likely sustained during his football career.
