He was running a criminal enterprise

He fits in well with the general hubris nature some of his fellow pac 12 member leadership. To bad for him that a few wised up and knew it was high time to stop thinking they were better than everyone else..

I mean, the PAC-12 is gonna be really good this year. Good coaches are at their historically good programs. Id blame tv execs more than him. They got in the SECs ear to make the Texas/OU move that would ultimately break the sport

At least he protected his athletes from Covid

It's easy to blame Larry, but he works for the presidents.

False
He forced athletes to play the fall 2020 season. Literally Hitler.

The pac 12 and big ten were the only conferences to care about their students

Until the SEC said we’re playing then they decided it was safe to play.
On a side note, I wonder how Dellinger and Forte are dealing with the fact that no players died from Covid?

He acts like he didnt want texas and OU
Not sure thats how it went down

Correct.
They wanted OU and Texas.
They were being told they had to take some additional schools with them like Okie State and Texas Tech which the likes of Cal looked down upon.
Passing on taking the little brother schools meant no movement. Problem was that OU and UT were going to move at some point and passing on taking them then was worse than taking two schools they didn’t really want.

Pac12 tried to act like culture and academics matter which was their fatal mistake
Posted on 7/28/23 at 11:32 am to Cosmo
They did matter to them.
The problem is that college athletics are a business, like it or not, and the big drivers of that business are football and men’s basketball, not 100 different boutique sports that gets Stanford a Sears Cup.
Doing all that extra shite for prestige is fine as long as you have the money sports to help offset the losses in all those extra sports you participate in.

Scott wasn't great, but he was the one pushing to expand. It was the Pac 12 Presidents that blocked him. He gets a lot of blame, but the current commissioner is even worse.
-Kliavkoff signed on to the alliance, only to lose his top 2 schools, doesn't expand, can't get a media deal, missed out on San Diego State.

The Pac-12's failings bear repeating: The league likely had its choice of Big 12 schools -- twice. In 2010, then-commissioner Larry Scott's bold move to raid the Big 12 of half its teams fell just short. More than a decade later, when Texas and Oklahoma announced they were departing for the SEC in 2021, the opportunity existed to pick the bones of a wounded Big 12.
Instead, the Pac-12 stood pat ... and the Big 12 retooled.
quote:
Colorado's exit now makes it OK to question out loud the process the Pac-12 has taken to this point. Upon losing USC and UCLA, Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff either could not or would not get a media rights deal done in an early negotiating window last summer.
Too harsh? Kliavkoff then watched Yormark jump the line by opening his conference's media rights deal early and signing extensions with Fox and ESPN -- the same partners with whom the Pac-12 hoped to negotiate -- the day before Halloween.
Dodd has a good article about how bad the Pac12 messed up

The way he blew millions in conference money on sweetheart deals for his friends and associates, I suggest Larry Scott was working for himself. People outside the conference influenced his decisions much more than PAC-12 presidents and ADs
