ASU President Michael Crow defends Pac-12, remains in support of commissioner Larry Scott

In a season of widespread discontent about the Pac-12 — be it leadership, financial health or on-field performance — Arizona State President Michael Crow preaches patience and perspective.

If Crow was delivering a sermon on the Pac-12, it would be out of Ecclesiastes 3. To everything there is a season ...a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.

Except Crow is not among the growing crowd that wants to cast out 10th-year Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott.

Crow was chair of the Pac-12 CEO group when Scott was hired in summer 2009 and one of only three Pac-10 presidents/chancellors then who are still around among the 12 today.
