Well, he sure isn't the one who said Texas is going to be "voted out" within a month.

lol.

How could you not want this guy as your conference leader.

Quote:

Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott accompanied his league's football coaches to New York this week for a two-day preseason media tour. The itinerary included stops to Sports Illustrated, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. But he managed to sneak in some business, too.

On Wednesday morning, a room full of executives and lawyers representing the conference and four different cable companies haggled over the details of an elaborate plan four months in the making. By 5 p.m., Scott was standing at a press conference in Chelsea, announcing a finalized deal for carriage of the newly created Pac-12 Network and six regional networks (in Northern California, Southern California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and the Mountain regions).

"[The cable deal] is a truly unique one-of-a-kind initiative to create exposure that's unprecedented for Pac-12 programs," Scott said in announcing the deal.
"Unique" and "one-of-a-kind" have been recurring mantras the past two years as Scott, a rare outsider among mostly lifelong college administrators, has repeatedly bucked convention in overhauling the once-sleepy conference. The former professional tennis executive was hired in 2009 to modernize the league and negotiate better television contracts. Just over two years later, the Pac-10 is the Pac-12, ESPN and Fox are teaming up to provide the richest rights fees for any conference in the country ($3 billion over 12 years), and, starting next season, the same league that once prompted Cal to install a Slingbox in its stadium in order for fans to watch a league road game will be able to televise all football and men's basketball games. Mission accomplished.

Scott is not the first commissioner to land a lucrative television deal, but he's the first to convince two purported competitors (ESPN and Fox) to team up and split the inventory. And while Jim Delany was the unquestioned trendsetter in launching the Big Ten Network, Scott's unique arrangement with the three most dominant cable companies in Pac-12 markets (Cox, Comcast and Time Warner) as well as a fourth, Brighthouse, is that the network(s) won't face the same distribution battles the BTN, The Mtn and now The Longhorn Network have endured. (Deals with satellite providers like DirecTV may be another story.)

To top it off, the league retained 100 percent ownership.

"The game-changer here is we got a conference network, but essentially, each of our schools -- with their rival school in their state or market -- has their own network too," Scott told SI.com on Thursday. "It's kind of the best of both worlds."

Because the West Coast is shitty.

It is the college equivalent of playing in a dome.

Texas being voted out of the Big 12 in days at the beginning of August makes the most sense to you?

I don't even know how that procedure would take place.

Once again, you're short sighted bias is getting in the way of the much better deal. You won't be playing the majority of your games against the west coast. Probably two games at most per year, one of those being a home game.

Actually, he said weeks or days. In other news, the Alabama debate team is about to vote the football team out of existence.
