The seventh commissioner of the Big Ten Conference is slated to take over the reins from Kevin Warren in a little over two weeks.
Before Tony Petitti’s tenure officially gets underway on May 15, the former MLB deputy commissioner and CBS Sports executive vice president addressed media members at a press conference in Rosemont, Illinois, on Friday. Petitti delved into his background as a student-athlete at Haverford College and discussed some of his goals for his new position before answering questions about hot-button topics in the world of college athletics, including NIL, College Football Playoff expansion and conference realignment.
