Larry Scott is out as PAC 12 commish. Thanks for nothing Larry.

End of June.
Quote:Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott and the league's CEO group have mutually agreed to terminate his contract one year ahead of schedule, the conference announced Wednesday night, ending his nearly 12-year tenure with the league which coincided with a series of dramatic changes across the national landscape of college sports.

CBS said the conference paid for coverage in the LA Times?!
Wow, I don’t recall hearing about that. But then again, I’m just glad he’s gone. (Scott, that is, ha.)

Good riddance to an incompetent failure who has been the source of so many horrible decisions!

You are in danger of angering the "no politics" gods.

Hopefully a fresh thinker can come up with something better in the way of television revenue for the network and for the universities.
As a WVB fan I am very satisfied with the conference volleyball coverage but I know that loses money. I want to see more revenue come in from televised football games.

First order of business should be to move the operations offices out of Frisco to a more affordable location. If staff doesn't want to move, replace them.
RE: Larry Scott is out! - BobK - 01-21-2021
Marty the offices aren’t In Texas presently. :)
RE: Larry Scott is out! - martyup - 01-21-2021
I forgot that "Frisco" is a derogatory term to some.
Quote:Herb Caen, the Pulitzer Prize–winning San Francisco Chronicle columnist,https://thebolditalic.com/don-t-call-it-frisco-the-history-of-san-francisco-s-nicknames-the-bold-italic-san-francisco-5c14348d49c
was adamant that no one call his fair city by such a sliced-up moniker.
Instead, “Caress each Spanish syllable, salute our Italian saint.
Don’t say Frisco and don’t say San-Fran-Cis-Co,” he advised.
“That’s the way Easterners, like Larry King, pronounce it. It’s more
like SanfranSISco.” Yet cultural forces ranging from Otis Redding (“headed
for the Frisco Bay”) to Pink Floyd (the unofficial Darkness Over Frisco
live album) to Google (search “Frisco,” and see what comes up at the
top of the page) keep the name associated with San Francisco.
Here’s the thing with “Frisco”: nicknames are supposed to embody
some overall characteristic, not just act as a lazy surgery of the
city’s name. There’s a reason we don’t call New York “Nork” when
we’re feeling saucy. It’s the “City That Never Sleeps” for poetic
reasons. Just because “Frisco” sounds like a place (and it is
in Texas and Colorado), doesn’t make it a good nickname. No one
would get on the I-5 and head south for “Agles.”
(Pro tip: if an out-of-town friend calls it Frisco, avoid the soapbox.
San Franciscans have a rep for being uptight jerks about the nickname.
Don’t play into the stereotype. They’ll eventually notice you never
call it that anyway.)

There is also a Paris in Texas. However the best town name is Truth or Consequences, NM. Worldwide it’s Knockmealldown, Republic of Ireland.

At the risk of thread drift, much to the delight of my son, there is a Fart, VA and a Poopoo, HI.

Better late than never. Should have happened when DirecTV talks failed and U-Verse dropped the network
I really hope they make separate hires for the network and the conference
Don't let the door hit you on the way out Pinhead Larry!

You just can't keep politics out of a sports message board. What a jackass.
