What did Tagliabue do except line his pockets with consulting fees?

 

.

That's pretty much all he did.  However, he's been a successful commissioner of the NFL, it stands to reason he could do just as good of a job with the American.  

 

Apples and oranges.  Who is going to steal teams from the NFL?

His job in the NFL would be practically NOTHING like being the head of the American conference.  He would be just as inexperienced competing with other more powerful leagues as our current commish.

Much of Tagliabue's job was rule making for the league, the role of the NCAA. How in the world would that translate into running a college conference?

The jobs are similar, but not the same.  Instead of answering to team owners, he answers to university presidents.  He would be the public face of the AAC, just like he was the public face of the NFL.  I didn't say it was the same, but there are similarities, and of course there is a learning curve to every new job - his would be less than some others based on his past experience.

 

Also, re: rule making, I'm pretty sure the owners come up with the rules, and it's the commissioner and his staff's job to enforce them.

Similar but not the same. The way a family station wagon is to an F1 race car. The area it counts the most, he has no experience just like in an F1 race the station wagon doesn't have speed and handling to win. That's why you go for a top level exec in a successful Power 5 conference, not someone who will be just as lost competing with the big boy conferences as all the other Big East commishs have been.

 

And read up on the Saints suspensions. The Commish has the last say on enforcing rules. When they are broken its ultimately up to him to step in and enforce them or allow the player to rejoin the team. And when there is no rule, he makes a decision. Not in every case but whenever he chooses. Did you ever see the Big East Commish do that? How about the NCAA?

Ok, slick.  You win.

Wouldn't top level exec be similar, but not the same as running a conference? Like being assistant manager at Bern's to running your own Taco Bell?

Like the one that's running the league now?
