CBS: Beebe Out - Chuck Neinas In

[NickSMU17]

+1....

We really have no shot at AQ unless these conferences go to 16....

We can hope for MWC Cusa partnership where if winning team is in top 20 BCS standings the get auto spot...

Doesn't Neinas have a firm that does coaching searches?

Yep, he has helped alot of schools. Last summer CUSA hired him to help assist them with realignment as well.

no doubt. i'm sure Deloss suggested him on the conf. call.

Neinas will be a temporary fixture in the B12. Look for another hire who will run day-to-day operations and move into the commissioner roll in relatively short order.

@kbohls kbohls
Neinas has been loyal DeLoss Dodds confidante; DD used him as a friend, sounding board before hiring Mack Brown. Never heard bad word on CN.

[Stallion]

wasn't he the Commissioner of the Big 8 for decades when Dodds was AD at K-State. He has contacts with all the North schools

[smupony94]

OU spurred the hiring.

According to his CV he was also very involved with CUSA.

Just heard on ESPN radio that a possible candidate for Big 12 Commissioner is a guy who runs the sports management program for SMU and used to be the commissioner of the Canadian Football League. Anyone know who they're talking about?

A source close to the process told The Dallas Morning News' Chuck Carlton that Dan Beebe has resigned as Big 12 commissioner, effective immediately.

Beebe joined the Big 12 in February 2003 as the senior associate commissioner and chief operating officer following a 14-year stint as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. During his first three years at the helm of the Big 12, Beebe has enjoyed eight national championships and five teams in the Bowl Championship Series in addition to numerous individual NCAA crowns.
