NJDuck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Conference sounds tired of the noise. (When you go on Canzano's site to read article, if you get a pop up you should be to click on 'Continue Reading' to see the whole article.) The conference’s public-relations strategy in the last nine months has been puzzling. The silence in Las Vegas last week at the men’s basketball Pac-12 Tournament, in particular, fueled another round of fear-mongering click bait from the Big 12 footprint. I wondered why commissioner George Kliavkoff refused to hold a news conference. But industry insiders cautioned me against banging my shoe too hard on the table. I was told by more than one veteran media-world source that ESPN, FOX, Amazon and Apple likely appreciate that the Pac-12 hasn’t engaged in orchestrated leaks aimed at taking the negotiations public. Decide for yourself if the collateral damage to the Pac-12’s brand over the last nine months is an acceptable byproduct. If the conference gets a good deal, maybe the Pac-12 walks taller knowing it did so while refusing to play a less-dignified version of the PR game.

I think we should have a much better idea, if not definitive answer by Tuesday's meeting. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
