Since the Pac-12 is currently in the middle of media rights negotiations, Kliavkoff told the Regents that there is 'urgency' in addressing UCLA’s decision.
Bruce Pascoe SAN FRANCISCO — If Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd has his way, the Wildcats will continue to play UCLA even after the Bruins move to the Big Ten in 2024.But if Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff has his way, and the Bruins and Wildcats won’t have to figure it out. Because they’ll still be playing mandatory conference games against each other, if the University of California Regents somehow reverses UCLA’s decision after Kliavkoff urged them to do so for financial and other reasons.
"We believe that between the travel and coaches’ salaries and some of the other expenses that you incur when you join the Big Ten, that the small delta in the media rights field will be more than offset," Kliavkoff said."And we stand by those numbers." Kliavkoff’s letter to the UC Regents also noted that Cal will be adversely affected, since Pac-12 media revenues will be reduced if both USC and UCLA left.
In his letter, Kliavkoff also cited the negative effect on well-being of athletes both academically and mentally, the additional travel hardship for families and alumni, in addition to a"significant impact on the UC System’s stated goal of reducing carbon emissions." But when asked Wednesday about Kliavkoff’s statement, both USC coach Andy Enfield and UCLA coach Mick Cronin largely sidestepped the issue.
"Obviously, we want to do everything we can to compete for conference championships and national championships and that's still my focus," Lloyd said."So I wish those guys the best of luck. I'll be able to compete with them the next couple of years, and then beyond, I would love to continue to play those schools."
