The board of directors has mismanaged the conference into existential trouble, but the presidents answer only to themselves.
and include ‘mailbag’ in the subject line or hit me on Twitter: @WilnerHotline.While former commissioner Larry Scott was either totally incompetent or a shrewd grifter, when are the Pac-12 presidents going to be held accountable for a lack of oversight that has put athletic departments into a financial swamp that continues to get deeper? — @RockDawg3The bumbling chief executive, Larry Scott, was effectively fired by the board in the winter of 2021.
He’s the perfect example of a president doing well for his campus and poorly for his athletic department. — The woeful oversight of the Pac-12 Networks, which led to the Comcast overpayment disaster that will cost the schools at least $5 million per campus. In a nutshell, the Hotline believes additional consolidation is most likely in the 2030s, perhaps at the start of the decade, when the Big Ten’s next media rights contract cycle begins, or perhaps in the middle of the decade, when the ACC’s grant-of-rights deal expires.— The SEC with 20-24 teams.— A third league that’s based on the revamped Big 12 but includes castoffs from the ACC and Pac-12.
The Hotline certainly has heard all the whispers about the strategy deployed by Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff and his advisors, but we don’t know exactly what they asked for; nor do we know what they told the presidents.If their opening salvo was in the $400 million to $425 million range, that would make more sense — you always aim high at the outset of negotiations.
If the Pac-12 media deal is in the low $20 million per school, as has been speculated, would Colorado and Arizona going to the Big 12 be the best thing? Then add four Group of Five schools at half shares? — @bogeycat85The Hotline doesn’t know where the Pac-12’s valuation will land — our guess is within 10 percent of the Big 12, which will earn $31.7 million per school when the renewal of its deal with Fox and ESPN kicks in.That’s below the current average annual valuation of $20.8 million.
But the Four Corners schools would need more than promises and hypotheticals. They would need contract offers.
