Minnesota Vikings’ chief operating officer Kevin Warren is expected to be introduced Tuesday as the next commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, sources told ESPN’s Mark Schlabach and me. Warren, 55, would become the first African-American commissioner of a Power Five conference.

Not a bad gig. Overseeing 12 teams as opposed to 1. Big 10 is right at the top as power conferences go. Maybe only behind SEC as far as national following. Pretty prestigious I'd say. Good for him.
