The cold war between the Big 12 and Pac-12 in this conference realignment landscape got a little warm Friday morning.
The Pac-12 is hosting its annual media days Friday and Saturday (in Los Angeles, funnily enough), and Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff came out of the gates aggressive in response to new Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark’s remarks that the Big 12 is “open for business.”
“With respect to the Big 12 being open for business, I appreciate that,” Kliavkoff said. “We haven’t decided if we’re going shopping there or not yet.”
According to transcripts from the news conference, Kliavkoff was the first person to bring up the Big 12.
