The Big Ten hired Kevin Warren in 2019. The SEC hired Greg Sankey in 2019. The ACC hired Jim Phillips this year. The Big 12 has had Greg Bowlsby since 2012, which makes him the dean of the Power Five schools.
And on Thursday, the PAC-12 finally found its new commissioner, hiring George Kliavkoff away from MGM, largely because of his impressive history with media companies and, surely, his experience with digital media.
We can’t prove this, but it’s a reasonable bet that Kliavkoff has more experience with digital media than any other commissioner. It’s hard to imagine how he could not.
