"We knew some other information was coming, including the announcement of Coach Prime. Why would we do a media deal before that? ...He absolutely adds value to the league."
Is no news good news for the Pac-12?
"It will take a couple of steps, but we’re going to take a step towards closing that gap. Then we’re going to be looking at expansion. We’re going to be looking at schools that make sense for us."
"That remark was a reflection of the fact that I've been spending four weeks trying to defend against grenades lobbed in from every corner of the Big 12, trying to destabilize our remaining conference."
