The Big Ten's leadership hires don't dictate on-field results. Wisconsin's AD moving to the conference office doesn't automatically shift competitive balance, that's just administrative noise. LSU's success has always been built on elite talent and execution, not conference politics. The Tigers' 2023 offense averaged 7.0 yards per play, which wins regardless of boardroom meetings. Brian Kelly and his staff are evaluated on wins and player development, not their lobbying skills. If we're focused on relationships in rooms instead of recruiting rankings and red zone efficiency, we've already lost.
