per ESPN:

The Chicago Bears named Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren as their president and CEO on Thursday.

Warren will replace outgoing president and CEO Ted Phillips, who announced his retirement last September following the 2022 season.

"Kevin is a man of integrity, respect and excellence, all of which are critical core values of the Chicago Bears, and we welcome his perspective and diverse thought to lead this storied organization," Bears chairman George H. McCaskey said in a statement. "He is a proven leader who has many times stepped outside of his comfort zone to challenge status quo for unconventional growth and prosperity. In this role, Warren will serve in the primary leadership position of the franchise to help bring the next Super Bowl championship trophy home to Bears fans."

Warren informed Illinois chancellor Robert Jones, chair of the Big Ten council of presidents/chancellors, of his departure, according to sources. The Big Ten presidents and chancellors are set to meet later Thursday morning.

This is a good move for Kevin and hopefully for the Big10.
