Posted February 13, 20241 yr Moderator The future of the Pac-12 is perilous at best, but the conference will reportedly have a new commissioner moving forward. According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, the Pac-12 and commissioner George Kliavkoff decided to part ways with a negotiated contract settlement. Dellenger noted the league sees Pac-12 deputy commissioner Teresa Gould as a potential replacement. This comes as anything but a surprise considering the uncertainty and change that has defined Kliavkoff's tenure since he was announced as commissioner in 2021.

February 13, 20241 yr Not going to lie... I had high hopes he was going to save the conference. But that didn't come to pass and we are where we are now.
February 13, 20241 yr He was an upgrade, but it would have taken a miracle worker to get us out of the jam Lavish Larry had us in. A miracle and then.....

February 14, 20241 yr Kliavkoff should get his share of the blame for the collapse of the PAC-12 conference: • Being blindsided by the exit of the LA schools • Failing to understand the true value of the Pac12 media rights without the LA schools • Turning down ESPN’s initial TV deal of $30M+ per school with a linear broadcasting component (see point above) • Lack of transparency for the remaining schools during the media negotiations and failing to understand the member schools needs (e.g., a need for linear broadcast exposure) • Not expanding aggressively right after the LA schools left the conference (SDSU would have been a no brainer)
