  Exactly. From bad to worse, the story of the PAC's mismanaged fortunes.

  Oh ohoho, I know this one. The same people who didn’t want to play in 2020, and who still largely occupy the same positions.

  Would it have been more odd if he was in the spotlight? Conference is dead.

  He’s far down the blame list for me but he can still fuck off

  Imagine taking the job of lead engineer on the Spruce Goose days before its first flight.
  
  George’s greatest sin was his hubris in thinking he could have righted the pac 12.
  
  That’s and every other retarded decision he made.

  On the other hand, his contract was something like 5 years/$15 million, and he didn't do shit. Maybe not the dumbest guy...

  I noticed that Kliavkoff ran off like a thief in the night too. Ha! At least the Big XII commissioner was a big boy and stayed to listen to the boos from the Texas fans. (An entertaining watch BTW, he butchered the pronunciation of Sark’s name he was so flustered.)

  God bless George Kliavkoff.
  
  If it wasn't for his incompetence in negotiating a deal and being caught completely flat footed as Brett Yorkmark came and raided the conference for scaps, we might have ended up signing a loser's contract with ESPN and fallen further and further behind in the conference arms race, while adding Colorado State and SDSU as the 11th and 12th members. Just like Jimmy Lake, the best kind of incompetence is the blow it up fast kind that require drastic measures in response. And because of that we're now sitting in a top 2 league going forward while all the other Pac-12 rats fled for any dry piece of driftwood they could find.

  If I was Kliavkoff I'd already have my flight to the Bahamas booked outta Vegas and laugh the whole way.
