Look, I am no fan of Kliavkoff…I gave him a chance, considering the mess Larry Scott left him with. But like Rob Manfred, Kliavkoff really just works at the behest of his bosses, and they’re the ones that hired a guy with NO experience in college athletics for a second consecutive time…he didn’t unilaterally nix TV deals on his own.

He did get absolutely worked by Yormark…it’s just that there’s plenty of blame to go around…
It's like a reliever put on mound with bases loaded and he gave up a grand slam. He also was just a pitcher called up from a minor league and it was the manager's fault for sending him on mound.
Per Wilner, espn offered the Pac10 $30m last fall, and ~3 Presidents turned it down, flat out rejection. They told K to go get $50m per school......not saying that K has been any good but you can only do what your bosses direct.

I mean, getting jumped by the B12 is a fireable offense on it’s own.

Agree - I said as much in another post.
But getting outplayed by Yormark is on George.
