When George Kliavkoff was announced as the replacement for embattled Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott in May, the general reaction from the college football world was one of surprise. Kliavkoff, the former president of MGM Sports & Entertainment with only peripheral experience in college sports, was not a name anyone could have expected the Pac-12 to choose as its captain to guide the league out of the ineffectual waters it has inhabited for the better part of the past decade.
Less than a month into the job, there is still much to be seen about how Kliavkoff will leave his mark on the Pac-12.
