This morning Jon Wilner, of the Mercury News reported that the Pac-12 conference paid bonuses to executives and management staff one month before it announced massive furloughs and layoffs.
It’s been a rough year for almost everyone in this country and especially those on the West Coast. A pandemic, wild fires, lost jobs, lost healthcare benefits etc etc etc. During these unprecedented times, college football has done an especially poor job at taking charge and making wise decisions. The Pac-12 has been mismanaged for years since Larry Scott became the commissioner in 2009. It’s been long reported by John Canzano and others that Larry Scott and other Pac-12 executives receive huge salaries compared to other conference commissioners in college athletics and how they have been essentially reckless and irresponsible with Pac-12 funds.
