The Big Ten recently disclosed their revenue figures for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. Most of the attention around the numbers were focused around the significant distribution payment each member school received, which came out to around $72 million.
While that disbursement is certainly notable, there were some other intriguing figures including in the conference's announcement. One such line item included a line item involving former Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany, who served in the role from 1989 through 2020.
It was reported that Delany received nearly $6 million during the 2024-2025 fiscal year in bonuses and deferred compensation, and was paid another $600,000 in consulting fees during the period.
The Big Ten has a history of sticking with a "gone, but not forgotten" credo. The conference also awarded former commissioner Kevin Warren nearly $6 million in the 2023-2024 fiscal year for his efforts in securing a historic media rights deal.
Delany's retirement package is estimated to be around $20 million.
