Pac-12 Parting Ways with Larry Scott Share this story Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports The Pac-12 Conference announced last night that they came to a mutual agreement with Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott to part ways with him after June 30th, 2021. He will assist with the transition to a new commissioner. The Pac-12 has languished under Scott, falling behind other Power Five conferences in television revenue and post-season performance in the key revenue sports. The Pac-12 could not continue under Scott’s leadership if it wants to remain a power in college athletics. 2021 will be a key season for the Pac-12 with a new television rights deal needing to be negotiated. That will be priority number one for the new commissioner. There are many other things that need addressed to help the conference as well. One thing the new commissioner should consider is moving the Pac-12 offices out of San Francisco to a cheaper area. Pac-12 officiating has been a perennial issue that needs addressed (I still do not know how Scott was not immediately fired for Woody Dixon’s overrule of the targeting call in the USC-WSU game in 2018).
