PAC 12 let their commissioner go

SLB · Post by **SLB** » February 16th, 2024, 1:56 pm

The PAC-12 George Kliavkoff is no longer going to be the PAC 12 commissioner, and we all know that the MWC commissioner would be considered for the job.

Why would she want to be Commissioner of the PAC 2?

She might want to be commissioner of the PAC 14

If they have a Commissioner it will likely be Oliver Luck, and it will only be an intierm short term thing. But my guess is they just hang tight until they merge.

The best possible result is full merger with a large media deal that makes MWC-PAC2 the 5th biggest money conference by far.
The MWC schools (including the Aggies) will upgrade as the merger happens to make a seamless to being a P5 conference.

I am curious to see how the MWC commish and Gould work together.

Which seems like the most "hang tight until they merge" move ever. Spend 2 days looking for a replacement for the guy that ran the conference into the ground, just to hire his second in command? If they were planning on saving the conference they would have put more thought into the hire.

I agree. These do not seem like a moves orchestrated by a conference planning a major coup d'etat and repositioning effort.

This seems much more like moves brought on by a long stalled and deliberated resignation to what the future will/could look like.

I simply don't see a majority of the PAC remnants wanting to hitch their wagon to the MWC. In the end, a few of the programs may not have another option.

In reality though, what better options will ever exist for WSU/OSU and perhaps ib ttoa / rebuilding with another P4 conferenceetat

What better options are ever going to exist for WSU/OSU than perhaps rebuilding a solid western conference with a lot of peer MWC institutions.

The P4 ship already sailed. Your schools were not on it.

You can choose to align with a group of non P4 like-minded western schools, or you can choose to align with a group of non P4 midwestern/southern schools.

Your move P2.

I have to chuckle a bit thinking that the PAC2 could pull off some cherry pick of the MWC, including taking us while ignoring others. I just don't see the benefit of joining the PAC2 if it's just a handful of schools. Wooop tee doo we get to play Oregon State in Corvallis and Washington State in Moscow Idaho... err Pullman Washington (same place). Don't get me wrong, I think they will be a solid addition to the MWC/PAC14, but no one is beating down the door and paying big time exit fees just to join up with these two. Remember what Condi Rice said in that interview about Stanford joining the ACC, we'll have an easier time getting our Student Athletes to some of our east cost conference mates than we ever did getting to Pullman. She ain't lying.

I should have stated that better.

If the P2 had a clue in the pretty little heads, they would be scrambling to jump in the MWC boat.

They don't so they will sit there and pine away for the good old days when they used to collect fat paychecks for having programs like USC, UCLA, Utah, and even Stanford in the league.

Hello. Those programs are not going to be in any version of the P12 moving forward that includes your schools.

The time for a very solemn and sobering meeting at OSU/WSU is rapidly approaching.

Hang around and play prima donna too long and see how you are welcomed into the league.

Recruiting at those schools is already falling of the cliff. Now will they hem and haw and squander even the lifeline that is being tossed their way?

Stupid...

On paper, I like the idea of adding OSU and WSU to the conference. That would bring the total number Land Grant schools to 7 in a 14 member conference. In practice, I am concerned that they would be like Boise State and San Diego State, absolutely sure that they are better than the rest of us, always looking for the bigger better deal, and creating a constant state of anxiety and instability in the conference.

I'm almost ready to tell them, "Have a nice life. Call us when we're your first choice, not your back-up plan."

When I was at USU a girl I knew told all of her friends we were dating then later told them we had broken up. I had no idea any of this was going on an only ever talked to her to say hi in a class we shared.

Later on she asked me if we could get back together and I had to let her know that we were never together in the first place and that I was quite engaged to my fiancée . She hit with your same line almost verbatim.

I see a day of shoe shopping with lunch squeezed in between mani-pedis at a spa and lots of catching up on the latest gossip.
