Larry Scott, destroyer of the Pac-12, wants to be commissioner of the LPGA

The narrative that Larry killed the conference is overplayed. He certainly played a part but a lot of other things went into it. UW being terrible or at best mediocre for almost 15 years didn't help.

Scott was in charge. Nobody wants to hold anyone accountable for anything
He blew the expansion and the TV deal
That was pretty much his job
-
And the real people in charge couldn't fire him because 3 of their members refused to via their vote.

Real people in charge
Right
Like I said

"You can't flag a moderator's post, even when he has no clue about the requirements to fire a Pac 12 conference commissioner"
This was all well documented by Wilner, including the 3 schools that disagreed with the other 9, after it was obvious that there would never be a DTV deal and that the P12N would only keep dwindling the conference money compared to the B1G.

Nothing could be done
The other leagues did but still
The expansion was botched leading to the TV deal being botched and Larry was in charge of both
like I said no one is ever held responsible for anything. Like losing a great coach

The Pac 12 presidents at any time could've said, "No, we don't think that showing 7 channels of Olympic sports and fully funding that ourselves is a good idea. Let's go ahead and not do that, not set up shop in downtown SF and you can go ahead and fuck off and we'll find a guy who will take a fraction of your proposed salary and come up with better ideas".
Yeah, the great coach that told his agent to not even counter an offer that was handed to him in October.

Right
Things are great
Nothing could be done

Countering means there's a price you'll take to stay there, at least initially.
What do you think that the boosters can go corner the guy, get on their hands and knees and beg him after he won't even talk to them? lol
He didn't want to be in the PNW.

If Scott was competent OR the school presidents were then the PAC would be alive today. It took both being bad and indifferent to kill it
