Pac-12 commissioner wants collegiality back in college sports. But deep down, he knows platitudes won't save his conference | Opinion

It wasn’t long after Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff bemoaned the lack of collegiality in college sports recently that he made about the least collegial remark you’ll ever hear from someone in his position.

Asked about his new Big 12 counterpart Brett Yormark’s line a couple weeks ago that his league was “open for business” in expansion — perceived, perhaps, as a signal flare at antsy Pac 12 schools in the wake of Southern California’s and UCLA’s departure to the Big Ten — Kliavkoff shot back with the only line that will be remembered from Pac-12 media days.
