Sublease?

Duffman stamp of reasonable and semi-decent approval FTMFW!
Would you want to try to sublease high end office space in downtown San Francisco right now?
Speaking just for myself, I need powerclean numbers.
The ‘own your own TV network’ was Scott’s mistake. It saddled the conference with higher costs, poorer distribution, and less revenue for the members. All the schools Ultimately want in these transactions is money (to run things) and exposure (name recognition to bring in students). They dont want to be in the set top network TV business. It’ll be interesting to see what Kliavkoff does with that part of the business.
I like having Adam give pronunciations!
Says the guy with 900 scrabble points in his name
It made no sense why the conference didn't put more emphasis on distribution. Kliavkoff seems to get that obvious point, hopefully he gets it done. It's about damm time someone acknowledged this:
Pac-12 notes: Reshaping Pac-12 Networks likely an early task for new commissioner George Kliavkoff
The to-do list for new Pac-12 Conference commissioner George Kliavkoff will be a long one once his new job officially begins July 1. Re-imagining the entire Pac-12 Network enterprise almost assured…

Ah yes-the idiot I thought of when I made that post.
I dunno...I for one would also be happy if P12 officiating was also no longer a national laughingstock.
If in a few years, if the P12 is universally recognized as the best officiated sports league in the world and there is no financial improvement.. he will have completely failed and will be fired. Reverse that hypothetical and he will be the greatest commissioner in sports. That goes for everything, which is why this job boils down to 1 thing.
To be fair, At the time the only other conference network was the B1G Fox arrangement. The SEC Network, ACC Network etc had not come along yet.It made no sense why the conference didn't put more emphasis on distribution. Kliavkoff seems to get that obvious point, hopefully he gets it done. It's about damm time someone acknowledged this:

My guess is Scott pitched the pure greed of a wholely owned conf network and the Pres bought it not realizing he really needed an ESPN, Fox, or Hallmark Ch to dick stomp DTV into submission. Oh well.

Never said there was, laughing at the fact that the PAC12 would get nothing for that space. Working in real estate, views are trending way up as companies are looking to take advantage of current market conditions.
Not a lot of demand for expensive center city office space these days.

Yes. You’d still pay less given asking rents in Las Vegas.
Was he the CEO of ESPN+?
Back to the rent piece, this article shows a pretty good breakdown of what other conferences are doing. I do, however, constantly (literally) wonder why all the talk about having the HQ in Vegas. No other conference has their HQ in a state that doesn’t have conference school in it. That would be weird to me.

Yes
For those that don’t read the CFBReddit Twitter, there’s some absolute gold in there about the new commish. Competitive circus 
I didn't know who the hell this guy was when I first saw it. Looks like a good hire especially if he brings in some lieutenants to handle some things while he makes the money.
