So Larry Scott is stealing from the schools and funding his own failing network?That should be an automatic firing from the Pac-12 presidents, but their silence speaks volumes.
So Larry Scott is stealing from the schools and funding his own failing network?That should be an automatic firing from the Pac-12 presidents, but their silence speaks volumes. yep....but when you read George Costanza's article you'll see that the universities are now stuck with a big fucking problem - that the Pac12 Network model has been such a financial failing that the universities are now desperately reliant upon getting that $750M equity partnership (ie: anyone anywhere who will throw cash at this problem is the solution) lest they fall even further behind the real conferences and the issue with Michael Scott is that if they fire his ass now the prospective investors will likely get spooked about investing in a conference or network or whatever it is where they just fired their commissioner (or media executive or whatever he calls himself now).Bottom line is that Larry Scott dug a big fucking hole that with the strategy that only he can get them out of it and so he really has created an incredibly complicated problem for everyone to figure out while he gets paid paid paid.

Part of me laughs at this whole fiasco, and thinks all the member schools are just reaping what they’ve sown by putting up with Champagne Larry’s ineptitude. Let it all burn.However, the other half of me that’s a sports fan doesn’t care how we got here, let’s just fix it. Cut out the cancer (Larry Scott), before it spreads. To hell with how it’s perceived.
Anyone who’s spent time around salespeople know you fire the guy no matter what deal he says he has lined up.
Nobody is buying a 10% equity stake for $750M ... particularly with Larry Scott remaining in a position of influence during that investment period
high-ranking inside sources are starting to sing... only a matter of time before he's gone now

So basically the Pac-12 got Silicon Valley-ed.Get the minimum viable product to market and then figure shit out afterward.Hide your true financials and never back down from rosy public statements until your revenues grow to meet your lies.Let fires burn while you focus on getting funding and grabbing market share.
