George Kliavkoff’s most reported comment from his press conference at Pac-12 media day was that they “were not announcing the media deal on purpose.”
He then walked back moments later, and that was far from the only interesting quote he gave.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I examine the first public comments from the Pac-12 commissioner in months.
He had many statements and answers to questions that are worth examining.
George Kliavkoff attempted to make the day as much about actual football as he could and was not totally unsuccessful in doing so.
Spencer looks at the football comments he made and why the Pac-12 is set up for such a great season.
