Big 12 poaching teams 'not a concern,' says Pac-12 commissioner

LAS VEGAS -- Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff said Friday that he's not concerned about the Big 12 trying to poach any teams, and that he hasn't engaged in any public debate over the narrative of uncertainty around the league because he knows "the truth."

"It's not a concern," he said at the Pac-12 media day, addressing the topic publicly for the first time this year. "Our schools are committed to each other and the Pac-12. We'll get our media rights deal done, we'll announce the deal. I think the realignment that's going on in college athletics will come to an end for this cycle.
