if you can trade Larry Scott for Gene Smith -- straight up -- you do it and never look back.

hella.

gene smith is a football guy, probably would look the other way when schools were (clearly no p12 school is doing this now with how mediocre teams are) dropping bags.

Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne should be interviewed. He’s got strong ties to the Pac-12, gets things done, and his time in the SEC puts him high on my list


eh, he inherited a great situation at bama.


Also, the conference ought to look within its own footprint at a handful of sitting ADs including Oregon’s Rob Mullens, Washington’s Jennifer Cohen and Colorado’s Rick George


nope, fucking hell no, 100x over no. if this happens just shut it down.


Gloria Nevarez, the sitting West Coast Conference commissioner, should be a candidate, too


jesus christ, i really liked how the article started as well too.

You really think Larry Scott looked for teams dropping bags? The majority of the pac 12 feel that’s beneath them, except for the ones serious about football of course. Larry Scott never really had to, as there’s maybe 2 teams that do it.

Canzano is being lazy here, just throwing shit at the wall really. The Alabama AD? Cmon man thats like asking the recent powerball winner for advice on investments. I'll be real pissed if its fuckin Mullens, or any other AD from in conference.

As much as I like to shit on Canzano, this is; not his idea, one of the most obvious candidates, and one of the best candidates.

The Alabama AD is Greg Byrne. He’s worked at Oregon, Oregon State, and Arizona. His dad was Oregon’s AD for a long time. Grew up in Eugene, but if you think he’ll be too friendly to Oregon then you won’t like Gene Smith either who is buddies with Rob Mullens.

Mullens is also not too likely since he has a ton of retention bonuses at Oregon, including a $1 million bonus coming up. The commissioner gig pays more, so maybe.

doogie

That would be just like Cuog to hire away the Ohio State AD for the P-12 commish only to have Ohio State steal back Chun
