Good afternoon! Sorry for the late post today!
Yesterday, Kevin advocated for taking the long view when it comes to things such as the Pac-12’s disastrous showing in the postseason of its two major revenue sports this academic year.
Today, let’s take the knee-jerk view: A head has to roll, and it should be Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott’s. At least, so says venerable sports media outlet The Big Lead, and since we’re all about firing people these days, let’s go with it.
The story tries to draw a straight line from Scott to the losses by pointing out the well-known financial disparity between the Pac-12 and its peer conferences such as the SEC and Big Ten, much of which has to do with media contracts negotiated by Scott.
