The Pac-12 and embattled commissioner George Kliavkoff have mutually agreed to part ways, the league announced on Friday. The Pac-12, which is down to Washington State and Oregon State following sweeping conference realignment, said it will have more details about its new leadership next week.

Kliavkoff's last day will be Feb. 29.

The move has been expected since last summer, when the Pac-12 dissolved after schools bolted for other leagues because Kliavkoff was unable to negotiate a media rights contract they agreed upon. In less than three years under his direction, USC and UCLA announced their intent to join the Big Ten, Washington and Oregon eventually followed, Cal and Stanford are joining the ACC, and Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State decided to join the Big 12.
