A name I hadn’t heard much for Pac-12 commissioner: Mike Aresco, commish of the AAC. The shitty conference with UCF, Cincinnati, Memphis, Houston, other city and incorrect geographic direction universities.
He’s been in that role since the conference succeeded the Big East, he was hired to oversee the liquidation.
Prior to that he was in charge of college sports at CBS. Landed them the 15 year SEC deal. The NCAA basketball tourney and partnership with Turner that makes tons of money although sometimes the 14th seed will be playing the 3rd seed on the bass fishing network at 547AM PST. In charge of college sports at ESPN before going to CBS.
Works for a shitty small time conference and his specialty is TV deals. CBS just lost the SEC to ESPN, maybe the Pac-12 can get some crumbs from the fall out.[/b]
None of this really matters, but they should at least try to make a good hire on paper.
