Wow. I don't recall that ever happening before to a P5 commissioner.

This was 2-3 years overdue.

A couple years back, the money-starved league was looking to Private Equity to buy in or purchase certain assets. Scott is far-too ol’ school and didn’t evolve.

Wildhack is tailor-made to be a commissioner. But assuming it is a no -starter as he has zero ties to the west coast and has made his money. They take a high-ranking deputy from another league or someone from FOX Sports who did collegiate deals (like an Eric Shanks.)

Not a great time to be in the PAC-12.

IMO, if Wildhack were to do this, it would have been as the ACC commissioner. Not the PAC 12 Commissioner.

And that wasn’t even a starter.

He has the perfect lineage.

Well when your conference is barely considered P5 anymore in the big sports ... Mountain West was passing them

It's a great opportunity for the next commissioner.

Never follow a legend, always follow a dud.

You just described our future basketball coaches.

You mean GMAC and then the "national search" hire?

I'M KIDDING

I hope.

Don’t be the guy who follows the guy. Be the guy who follows the guy who followed the guy.

Ironically, this is was also Millhouse’s dating strategy in college.

It's amazing the super smart and powerful people who think that.

I think you're two guys too short on Milly.

He moved the offices to San Fran to coddle his precious ego and show off. Guy was out of his league. They get passed by everyone under him. He was terrible.
