Big 12 poaching teams 'not a concern,' says Pac-12 commissioner

Heather Dinich, ESPN Senior Writer

LAS VEGAS -- Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff said Friday that he's not concerned about the Big 12 trying to poach any teams, and that he hasn't engaged in any public debate over the narrative of uncertainty around the league because he knows "the truth."

"It's not a concern," he said at the Pac-12 media day, addressing the topic publicly for the first time this year. "Our schools are committed to each other and the Pac-12. We'll get our media rights deal done, we'll announce the deal. I think the realignment that's going on in college athletics will come to an end for this cycle."

That last sentence doesn't sound good for SMU and SDSU.

So first it was "we need a media deal then we'll look at expansion"
Then it was "obviously, we need to have expansion set before we can do a media deal. how else can the media deal be accurately valued?"
Now we're back to "we need a media deal then we'll look at expansion"

At least your admin was smart enough not to jump the gun and look stupid like SDSU.

Y'all are like a bunch of Kremlinologists parsing Pravda circa 1987. He said the realignment "will come" to an end. Future tense. Whatever. Means nothing negative, and also means nothing new.

Blow people out!

Run the F-ing score up!

The new format gives us a path to relevance. DFW gives us a path to P5 affiliation. Just have to F-ing win, preferably by a lot!!!
