Kliavkoff: Big 12 Has Been Trying to ‘Destabilize’ Pac-12 for Weeks

It has been a busy month within the Pac-12 conference since both USC and UCLA bolted from the league and will join the Big-10.

Following the departure of the two Los Angeles-based schools, a move that has sparked ongoing conference realignment conversation, CBS Sports reported on July 5 that as many as six Pac-12 programs had been in discussion about joining the Big-12.

While discussion about partnerships between the two Power 5 conferences have reportedly ended, Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff addressed his thoughts about the potential partnership with a flavorful comment during the league’s media days on Friday.
