Here's the full 13-member committee, per ESPN:

  • Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez
  • Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long (chairman)
  • Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, a former Air Force Academy superintendent
  • USC athletic director Pat Haden
  • Former NCAA executive vice president Tom Jernstedt
  • West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck
  • Former NFL and Ole Miss quarterback Archie Manning
  • Former Nebraska athletic director/coach Tom Osborne
  • Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich
  • Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
  • Former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese
  • Former USA Today reporter Steve Wieberg
  • Former Stanford/Notre Dame/Washington coach Tyrone Willingham

So if you're scoring at home, the lone person with B1G connections is the guy that gave Bert Beliema his first head coaching gig, and the chairman is the guy who decided to hire him away from Wisconsin. This list is somewhat frightening as an Ohio State fan.
