"Don't trust anyone." With the Pac-12 Tournament looming this week, a look at the uncertainty hanging over the league. Why are schools engaged with other leagues? Which schools are most nervous? Can Kliavkoff pull a TV contract rabbit from his hat? espn.com/college-footba…
@PeteThamel First Reese Davis said so jokingly on hoops game day, then ESPNU said so this morning and now Thamel. ESPN is definitely having some fun with this PAC12 stuff. Thamel is basically telling everyone not to listen to Canzano and Wilner, without naming names.
@PeteThamel Just split it between big 10 and big 12, be done with it what are they holding on to?
@PeteThamel They can’t even put decent refs on the field why have faith they can get a deal done?
@PeteThamel That’s absolutely correct. PAC schools should trust no one. And they should place the least amount of trust in Kliavkoff delivering a media deal equal to or more than the Big 12’s. He hasn’t demonstrated that he can deliver on anything since he’s been hired.
@PeteThamel P12 doesn’t gain anything by drawing this out…just adds more fire to the rumor mill. If GK had a good deal we’d know about it already.
@PeteThamel Yup, they’re not going to have a in-person meeting until all schools agree to stay. No one goes into final discussions to hammer out the differences, This Ain’t the Movies.
@PeteThamel What good is joining the big 12 its a lateral move
