The Pac-12 Conference announced last night that they came to a mutual agreement with Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott to part ways with him after June 30th, 2021. He will assist with the transition to a new commissioner. The Pac-12 has languished under Scott, falling behind other Power Five conferences in television revenue and post-season performance in the key revenue sports. The Pac-12 could not continue under Scott’s leadership if it wants to remain a power in college athletics.
2021 will be a key season for the Pac-12 with a new television rights deal needing to be negotiated.
