The last 12+ months in the PAC12 have been a master class on not how to be an effective leader and how to not have an effective communication plan.
Almost sounds like the dreaded "vote of confidence".
I think he wore out the “we are working on it” approach months ago.
I'd say the PAC is playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess in all this, but that'd be an insult to the game of checkers.
Woof.
If there’s anything I’ve learned during realignment, things tend to happen quickly when they do. Any chatter about the remaining “haves” of the PAC 12 bolting for the Big 12 is just coming from armchair analysts (like myself). It’s not going to happen otherwise Twitter would be going nuts TONIGHT about impending decisions TOMORROW.
Frankly, adding Washington and Oregon would be good for clout but they’re going to stretch a conference that’s still punching above its weight. Colorado makes sense because they were never a West Coast school to begin with. Culturally they just make more sense in a Great Plains type of conference like the Big 12.
The Big 12 will stay put until other P5 schools come calling. I think the next additions will be schools that make sense regionally. Louisville has to be at the top of the list for additions, as well as taking a look at Pitt.

Same thing that you are that there has been essentially no serious discussions about adding additional teams at this time. The presidents seem very comfortable at 16 right now. Obv is ND wanted in they get in automatically but outside of them moving I’m not anticipating any expansion unless things get crazy with the ACC.
What do you mean? ASU got AAU status this spring! They gotta provide a great education
I feel like UU and ASU are hoping beyond hope that their AAU status might mean something to Big10, along with location in large metro might be attractive for Big10 carriage fees.
In the case of ASU, I believe their President is the longest serving Pac president. So he's pretty invested in Pac12 culture and willing to almost go down with ship.
And yet this statement is basically saying that again. Nothing there except the same "we're working on a deal! It will be ready soon! We'll expand after". This could have been written 12 months ago with the exact same wording minus the Colorado bit.
Lacking any sense of enthusiasm. Couldn't even bring themselves to do that with a straight face I guess.
Reads like a mission statement for what they hope happens.
Yeah, like the About Us page of a missionary.
This whole thing with GK and the PAC, reminds me of that kid in grade school that kept saying he had a girlfriend...in a different town...even bringing pics....that turned out to be his cousin.
The first paragraph is nothing but irrelevant nonsense.
The second paragraph leads by once again doing a "the media deal is coming soon!", and makes vague promises for something that will happen after the thing that has already been delayed a dozen times.
Just a completely useless release
Super silly to hope for that as Stanford/Washington have far superior academics, markets, and brands. So if that’s what they are counting on, well good luck. I’m sure ASU is a decent school but they are known more for there super easy online programs and being a party school.
GK better be ready to be “blindsided” 3 more times in the coming days. The guy is delusional and trying to speak his delusion into existence.
I'm annoyed that Colorado is coming back to the big 12. Colorado left the big 12 for the "greener pastures" of the pac-12, jumping off what they thought was a sinking ship. People were talking about Iowa State going to be left out of that first realignment and Colorado was fine watching it all fall apart.
Big 12 should have just let Colorado sink with the pac-12. Maybe they could have joined the mountain west eventually.
And apparently I'm still butthurt. Never did like that school.
