"Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff Ousted Amid Conference Turmoil"
George Kliavkoff is stepping down as the Pac-12 commissioner, with his last day set for Feb. 29. The decision comes as the conference faces significant changes, including the departure of key universities to other conferences. Kliavkoff's efforts to secure a new media rights deal were unsuccessful, leading to further departures and legal battles for control of the conference. With Kliavkoff's departure, the Pac-12 is set to announce new leadership, with deputy commissioner Teresa Gould likely to be promoted to commissioner.
