Speaker 1: commissioner of the Pacific Twelve Conference. Yeah, baby, we are back.

9
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: We got a new commissioner. I forgot his name. Now

10
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. There's nowhere to go. Buy up, baby.

11
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: This is a celebration, and the man already has great

12
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: ideas about getting the conference into the limelight in terms

13
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: of new marketing deals, new partnerships, getting you to the

14
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: College Football Playoff, emphasizing football making money, new TV deals.

15
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: We are in the black people. Here comes national championships.

16
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: Book it here, celebrate. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm happy. I'm

17
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: sure there's that photo of me interviewing him floating around

18
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: out there where I've just got massive resting bitch face. Um,

19
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: but you know I did, I did have the opportunity

20
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: to ask him a few questions over the years, one

21
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: of which UM this in of like why he wouldn't

22
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: advocate for the fact that, you know, his states that

23
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: he governs over, UM, as far as the Pack twelve

24
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: are so much different than every other conference in the

25
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: country because at that time, most of the states had actually,

26
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, well legalized marijuana. I asked him another question

27
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: at one point, I think where he touted that it

28
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: was better to have nine teams make a bowl than

29
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: than to worry about whether or not any of them

30
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: actually won. Those bulls. Shut up it just I mean,

31
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: this is almost three years after Pete Famil broke the

32
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: news that an untrained third party overruled a targeting call

33
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: that might have put Washington State in contention for a

34
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: national championship. Well, and they they've hired enough consultants to

35
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: like to like build a a new city, right, and

36
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: and and many of which he just happened to know. Uh,

37
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: prior to being the commissioner of the Pacific twelve conference,

38
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: where he was paying eight million dollars plus annually in rent,

39
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 1: and he could have bought the building for as much

40
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: as they paid in rent. He's the first commissioner in

41
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: history to make more than three million annually. He's the

42
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: first commissioner in history to make more than four million annually.

43
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Got to be the first commissioner in history to get

44
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: a home from the conference and not be paying on

45
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: it um until he was fired essentially, and then people

46
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: were so upset that then he had to pay it

47
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: back right. He never ever ever got the Pack twelve

48
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: on direct TV, even though direct Tv at one point

49
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: was bought by a Pack twelve advertising partner. Um, he

50
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: never managed to get the Pack twelve on Hulu or

51
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: YouTube TV. When YouTube TV came out and it was

52
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: only thirty five bucks a month, it had the SEC network,

53
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: the Big ten network, every single ESPN, NBC, Regional Sports,

54
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: Fox Sports, and FS one and f S two. It

55
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: did not include the Pac twelve network. And now that

56
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: YouTube TV is no longer thirty five dollars a month

57
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: but sixty five dollars a month, it's still does not

58
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: have the Pack twelve network. Uh at all? Um, and

59
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: he I can't lie. He did some decent things for

60
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: the conference UM in eighteen. He did come out pretty

61
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: strongly advocating for a newfound focus on and financial commitment

62
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: to mental health issues in the PAC twelve. One of

63
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: the things that bothered me about that is it came

64
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: too late for a guy like Robbie Robinson who actually

65
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: ended up having to spend time in prison over over

66
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: what was misinterpreted tweets and and a mental health issue. Um.

67
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: But but you know, it wasn't terrible that continuously throughout

68
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: his tenure they had to lay people off, which was

69
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: really tough for people who had to move out to

70
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: the most expensive city in the world just in order

71
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: to work for Larry Scott. Um. But I'm I'm i

72
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: am with everything that has had up and and we

73
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: could run through a massive, massive hit list of some

74
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: of his uh, some of his failures, including not going

75
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: to bat for your favorite team, the Washington Huskies, when

76
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Herb Street told University of Washington that they should

77
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: be thanking ESPN for the fact that they ever even

78
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: got on their airwaves in the first place. You know,

79
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: there's a million different things that we can nitpick, but

80
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: mostly I'm just excited that Larry Scott is gone. Yes, yes,

81
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: he's gone, to we get we just well not actually dead,

82
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: but celebrate George Cleicoff, Yeah, baby, yeah, that's literally the

83
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: end of the episode. I hope you guys enjoyed, enjoyed
