"Pac-12 Announces Departure of Commissioner George Kliavkoff, New Leadership Expected Soon"
The Pac-12 and commissioner George Kliavkoff have mutually agreed to part ways, with Kliavkoff's last day set for Feb. 29. The move comes after schools departed for other leagues due to Kliavkoff's inability to negotiate a media rights contract, leading to a legal battle and significant conference realignment. The Pac-12 will announce new leadership next week, while Washington State and Oregon State will operate as a two-team conference in football for the next two seasons.
