Pac-12 media day preview: Commissioner George Kliavkoff talks media rights deal, Deion Sanders joins the conference and a loaded quarterback class.
Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff in Las Vegas, Dec 3, 2021. The commissioner has yet to announce the conference's next media rights deal, which will be a point of interest at the conference's media day this year.College football’s offseason calendar turns to the Pac-12 on Friday.and the SEC wrapped up on Thursday, Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff will get his chance to respond to the barbs thrown at his conference and chart his own narrative.
It would have made sense for Kliavkoff to use his own media day to announce the deal and finally stabilize the conference. It also wouldn’t hurt for Kliavkoff to deliver some tangible news on the conference’s biggest day of the summer, rather than having to answer countless questions about the conference’s potential demise.
The perception of missing loose deadlines is one thing. But the Pac-12 dragging its feet has led to some tangible movement in the conference realignment space. At this point, Kliavkoff has to get a deal in the ballpark of what the Big 12 got . If he can’t get that, schools could very well go to where the money is greener.
On the actual football side of things, the Pac-12 is adding another big name to the fold: Deion Sanders at Colorado. Last week Oklahoma’s Brent Venables critiqued Sanders’ approach. Venables was also a first-year coach at OU last year, but did not cut as many players.
