George Kliavkoff is doing his best to spin the situation, but it’s nonsense.​

Now, he’s claiming he’s spoken to fans of the Trojans and Bruins, and they’re not happy with the move. In fact, he can’t find a single person who supports it.

“I think saying hundreds would be an exaggeration — dozens, more than a hundred, and I have yet to talk to anyone in the UCLA and USC community who’s in favor of the move. I will say that I probably hear from folks who are not in favor, not surprisingly,” Kliavkoff said at Pac-12 basketball media day Wednesday, according to ESPN.


At this point since hundreds of their fans are angry at the move to the B1G it only makes sense for UCLA and USC to pull out right?

He's an idiot:

Kliavkoff wrote in his letter to the regents that there was “urgency” in the situation because the Pac-12 is finalizing a new media rights contract. Some projections have estimated that the deal could fetch between $35 million to $40 million annually per school, though that number would certainly rise with UCLA and the coveted Los Angeles market part of any deal.

Kliavkoff said the conference’s new deal would “close the gap between us and the Big Ten and the SEC [Southeastern Conference],” which he called a first step in strengthening the Pac-12 brand.

“Eventually, we’ll catch those guys,” Kliavkoff said. “It will take a couple of steps, but we’re going to take a step towards closing that gap. Then we’re going to be looking at expansion. We’re going to be looking at schools that make sense for us.”

He'll be lucky to get a contract and then keep his teams.

Funny the LA Times felt the need to tell their readers the SEC is the Southeastern Conference.
 
There are dozens of fans against this move, I say. DOZENS!!

The news and messaging out of the PAC 12 and Big 12 couldn't be more different. The Big 12 reports actual positive events and is confident in its position. The PAC reports propaganda that no one believes and ignores the fact that they aren't even close to a deal yet.

I don't know why the West Coast media allows these puff pieces to go out and no one asks him directly what is the status of GOR for all the current schools. That is the big elephant in the room.

Dumb question. For conf’s, Larry Scott is the worst commish ever. The Pac12 could fold tomorrow and it wouldn’t matter.

Don’t really feel like looking at the lower div’s tho.

Everything is different if he had pulled Texas and OU in.

Texas was going to be hard but OU wanted it and they had to take Okie State. It would have been a matter of time and the Big 12 would’ve folded.
 
I still havent decided between inept Scott and delusion Kliovoff

It’s mostly Larry’s fault that the Pac 12 is even sinking to begin with. George only got hired, what, a few months ago? Wtf was he supposed to do?

Seriously, David, quit being an idiot and use your head. :facepalm:
