CU at the Game Podcast – George Kliavkoff: What CU fans can expect from the new Pac-12 Commissioner
—
It would be fair to say that George Kliavkoff was an unexpected hire by the Pac-12. In this episode, Stuart and Brad take a look at the resume of the now former MGM executive, what Kliavkoff had to say at his introductory press conference, and what the Pac-12 hierarchy – and the national pundits – had to say about the hire.
Then, just for fun, we’ll take a look at a story about Pac-12 expansion, both in terms of geography and the coming sooner-rather-than-later 16-team mega conferences, before finishing with an article claiming that USC is more powerful – and more important – than anything George Kliavkoff can do as the new Pac-12 commissioner.
