Interesting comments: Brett McMurphy @Brett_McMurphy Pac-12’s George Kliavkoff: “We are actively exploring expansion opportunities. As we consider these opportunities, we will look at media value, athletic strength, academic & cultural fit & geography from a recruiting & student-athlete experience standpoint.” Brett McMurphy ·P-12’s George Kliavkoff: “I’ve been spending 4 weeks trying to defend against grenades that have been lobbed in from every corner of the Big 12 trying to destabilize our remaining conference. When you look at the relative media value b/w the conferences I get why they're scared” Brett McMurphy Pac-12’s George Kliavkoff: “I hope that we regain that collegiality (b/w commissioners) because I actually think that’s the way you solve problems. I think it’s unfortunate we’ve gone the other direction” Brett McMurphy It. Is. On. Pac-12 commish George Kliavkoff about Big 12’s Brett Yormark’s comment about Big 12 is open for business. “I appreciate that. We haven’t decided if we’re going shopping there or not”

They have a network, so new states. -- HOO86 Jul 29, 2022 at 10:06 PM ET

If the goal is to keep the conference together, Swofford did good. -- BBBDatVT Jul 30, 2022 at 08:36 AM ET

If it's true, I think it is bad business by the B1G to string schools along -- Maroon Baboon Jul 29, 2022 at 05:27 PM ET
