Column: Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott is out of touch with reality

About an hour before last week’s Pac-12 Conference Tournament championship between Washington and Oregon, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott delivered an essential “State of the Conference” speech to gathered media at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Scott, flanked by University of Colorado Chancellor Philip DiStefano, who’s in his first year as chair of the Pac-12 CEO Group, delivered his remarks on multiple topics including but not limited to: attendance at both the men and women’s Pac-12 Conference Tournament, future TV deals and the overall finances of the Pac-12 Conference.

Scott painted an optimistic picture of the state of affairs within the Pac-12, but is his depiction of things in line with reality?
