We knew the Pac-12 was likely going outside the box to hire the commissioner who would follow Larry Scott, but they appear to have gone even further than many thought. Ralph Russo was the first to report this morning that George Kliavkoff would be the next commissioner following Scott’s departure in June, and it was quickly confirmed by multiple media outlets shortly after.
The Pac-12 announced he’ll have a five-year contract that begins on July 1.
