After a brief stint as the league’s commissioner, Warren headed to Chicago to accept the role as team president and CEO of the Chicago Bears franchise in the NFL.

Petitti, a graduate of Harvard, served 2 years at a law firm before joining ABC Sports as an attorney. He also spent time at CBS and was the MLB COO. Now, he’s set to become the B1G’s next commissioner.

Petitti’s first order of business is likely tackling the ongoing issue of potential conference expansion. UCLA and USC are already set to join the conference in 2024.

One thing is for sure, there’s no shortage of work to be done.
