Larry Scott, destroyer of the Pac-12, wants to be commissioner of the LPGA

- Start date
Another league no one cares about
I'll never understand people who fail on such grand stages will continue to get big opportunities. Not only did he fail miserable and play a big part in destroying the Pac, he was publicly shown to be wasting massive funds on luxurious lifestyle shit for himself. Didn't he have a press conference or a meeting which everyone thought was going to be about getting a contract with DirecTV and it was instead him playfully announcing his extension?
It’s a perfect time for grifters to push in their chips.
As throbber would say swing him.
I am become death, destroyer of conferences.
No. That was USC deciding to suck at football post Pete Caroll.
Michigan was shit for years and even mediocre under Harbaugh. The B1G did not treat them as some equal member to Purdue and then go invite Memphis/Tulane and then put them in Michigan/OSU's division to try and use everybody else's money to go grow them into a "Power 5" school.
By the way, the situation was so fucked that an episode of Baller's predicted most of this in 2017/18 w USC. Covid made it all happen sooner than it was going to.
The narrative that Larry killed the conference is overplayed. He certainly played a part but a lot of other things went into it. UW being terrible or at best mediocre for almost 15 years didn't help.
Scott was in charge. Nobody wants to hold anyone accountable for anything
He blew the expansion and the TV deal
That was pretty much his job

And the real people in charge couldn't fire him because 3 of their members refused to via their vote.

Right
Like I said
Right
Like I said
"You can't flag a moderator's post, even when he has no clue about the requirements to fire a Pac 12 conference commissioner"
This was all well documented by Wilner, including the 3 schools that disagreed with the other 9, after it was obvious that there would never be a DTV deal and that the P12N would only keep dwindling the conference money compared to the B1G.
Nothing could be done
The other leagues did but still
The expansion was botched leading to the TV deal being botched and Larry was in charge of both
like I said no one is ever held responsible for anything. Like losing a great coach

The Pac 12 presidents at any time could've said, "No, we don't think that showing 7 channels of Olympic sports and fully funding that ourselves is a good idea. Let's go ahead and not do that, not set up shop in downtown SF and you can go ahead and fuck off and we'll find a guy who will take a fraction of your proposed salary and come up with better ideas".
Yeah, the great coach that told his agent to not even counter an offer that was handed to him in October.

Things are great

Countering means there's a price you'll take to stay there, at least initially.
What do you think that the boosters can go corner the guy, get on their hands and knees and beg him after he won't even talk to them? lol
He didn't want to be in the PNW.
