Now, we’ve got folks in the national media reporting stuff that is on burner Twitter accounts. It’s unfortunate. It’s the world we live in. I don’t have thin skin. I’m OK with this stuff, but it does destabilize people.”
Kliavkoff said that several Pac-12 universities have shared communications they’ve received from the Big 12 and other conferences.
“If they hear something or if someone from a different conference is approaching them, they forward those messages,” he said. “Those are fun to read. I’ve read every single one that has been sent to our conference over the last three weeks. It’s amazing how brazen those other conferences are.”

Things Kliavkoff is mad at:
1. Journalists (Other than the Pac-12 water carriers)
2. Twitter
3. The Big 12
Things Kliavkoff is not mad at:
1. The B1G
Smacks of desperation. I'd still put my bet on the Pac 12 surviving in some form, but it won't be because of this putz
