I had it on good authority those choppers pretty much flew themselves. And maybe you haven’t heard, but we’ve got the Space Force rolling with us now, so…

Pac-12 hires MGM's George Kliavkoff to replace Larry Scott as commissioner

It involves a bite from a radioactive hooker and blow tainted by gamma rays. The usual.
That's a fantastic vision that really will maximize value for everyone.
This guy gets it
That will shake some things up if it can work out that way.
This actually seems like a good idea, given the names. But obviously is something that shouldn’t be needed.
It is a good thing. We're coming off the Larry Scott era where ADs, Coaches and Athletes were pretty much ignored. Giving voice and paying attention to the athletics folks when Commissioner of an athletics conference seems like a better approach.

I wouldn't have publicized this. It's like publicly self-admission that 'we're way behind.'

Well, we can't afford to waste time publicizing it, better not be only taking baby steps either.
Yup
I think that's common knowledge.

Sure, but republish to make sure everyone knows. Gotta make sure everyone knows.
Feels like a great idea, and the more publicity the better. Why not activate every single PAC12 alumni football player in some way or another.
George Kliavkoff Q&A: New Pac-12 commish 'impatient' with league's football failures
Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff talks about misconceptions with the conference and why Lincoln Riley's hiring by USC didn't surprise him.

Gives me at least some hope CU figures it out. Kliavkoff needs to keep applying pressure here, which he has, and he will continue to do.
Kliavkoff has put his name in the transfer portal.

I also think, if we look statistically at underlying youth and high school football participation rates over the last decade or so, those have dropped more significantly on the West Coast than they have in the Southeast or the Midwest or almost anywhere else in the country, and those are our primary recruiting territories. That’s a long-term issue that we have to deal with and figure out how to work around.
We have to be better about keeping our four- and five-stars in our footprint at our schools, and we have to be better about recruiting out of territory, particularly in my opinion offensive and defensive linemen. I watched a lot of nonconference games this year, and I think we need bigger, stronger, faster kids on our lines to compete nationally. And that will require some expansion of our current recruiting territories.
His P12 NIL deal is the best one he’s got currently.

Wait a minute, does this guy actually get it?
I haven’t read much of him but this article is bang on. Recruiting sucks (especially linemen), scheduling 9 conference games and 20 years into the future is dumb. Pac 12 schools need a huge push to reinvest in football. I like this guy now

Someone wake me up when he announces a deal with DTV to carry the Pac. You want kids outside of the Pac footprint to be interested in the conference, maybe having games on a tv channel people can watch would be a good first step. Step #2, maybe less games starting at 11pm eastern time
Just birth em bigger in Cali going forward, duh
Eh, the P12N not being on DTV isn't the biggest issue. I rarely watch games on the SEC or B1G networks and I would bet that goes for most people here as well.
The biggest issue is getting the Noon, 3:30 and 7pm ET slots more frequently on the big networks. Of course, since the Pac 12 doesn't have a team in the CTZ, we very rarely are going to get the Noon slot. Negotiating the Pac 12 having at least one of the other two time slots every week is going to be huge in the next media deal.
Going forward, USC and Oregon should almost never be relegated to the Pac 12 Network, regardless of opponent.
Especially since directv is bleeding subscribers and cash.
