Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff addressed the media for the first time since it was announced USC and UCLA would be leaving the conference by 2024.
While he tried to skirt around the issue and not face it directly, the former MGM entertainment president turned college athletics figurehead couldn’t hold back his frustration as questions rolled off one after another. He even targeted another Power 5 conference in hopes expansion would be imminent.
“As for the Big 12 being open for business, I appreciate that. We haven’t decided if we’re going shopping there yet,” Kliavkoff said on Friday.
