Delany wanted authority to hire coaches as well

Just when you thought yesterday's news that Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany is seeking authority to fire coaches couldn't get any stranger.....

Brad Wolverton of The Chronicle of Higher Education dropped this bomb, "he [Delany] thought it would be 'useful' if he had the authority to make hiring, firing, and evaluation decisions involving football and men's basketball coaches."

Wait, wait, wait. Did we all just read that right? Delany also wanted the authority to hire coaches for schools.  What? This is incomprehensible.  

You simply have to read Wolverton's article for yourself.
