Despite having their best revenue year ever the Pac 12 Presidents are not happy about the growing gap between their take vs what some of the other conferences are making. Here are some of the comments.
1. Carol Christ, chancellor of Cal, said late last year that she is fairly critical of the Pac 12 organization.
2. Kirk Schultz, the new president at Washington State, said of the revenue gap that it is a concern of the Pac 12 presidents. He also said that the issue is brought up at every single meeting with the Pac 12 commissioner, Larry Scott. Scott by the way is the highest paid conference commissioner, according to Dennis Dodd, at 4.8 million dollars.
3. There have been scheduling problems with some of its games being delayed, one delay had the Stanford vs Washington game waiting on a truck race to finish. Scott says all of that is fixed now.
4. The on field results have been less than national championship quality for 14 years and counting in football. Their bowl record was a horrendous 1-8. The entire Pac 12 entries into the NCAA Tournament got knocked out in the first round for the first time in 32 years.
5. Despite all of the above Scott has a contingent of support that could help solidify his position until he can improve things. But he had better do something because there is also a growing number of school presidents that are upset about how things are trending.....especially with the money.
