The Chicago Bears are expected to hire Big Ten president Kevin Warren as their new president and CEO, multiple sources told ESPN.
Warren will replace Ted Phillips, who announced his retirement this past September after 40 years with the Bears, who could announce the hiring as early as Thursday, according to sources.
Warren has been the Big Ten’s president since 2019 after a stint as the Minnesota Vikings‘ COO for four years. Warren has 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.
