We’ve remained silent over the last nine months regarding the ongoing soap opera that has been the Pac-12 media negotiations, unlike certain other parties who are now busy trying to scrub egg detritus from their beet-red faces.
But now, it’s time to speak. This afternoon, the University of Colorado Board of Regents voted unanimously to adopt a resolution from president Todd Sailman announcing Colorado’s intention to leave the Pac-12 and rejoin the Big 12 effective July 1, 2024.
For months, George Kliavkoff and an army of Pac-12 related media entities have engaged in a propaganda war, eternally claiming the conference was on the verge of a major media rights deal which would rival or exceed on a per-team basis the $380 million annual deal that Brett Yormark negotiated with ESPN and FOX last fall.
