They’re engaged and far more tuned in to the oppor- tunities in athletics than their predecessors. They don’t view sports as some kind of campus toy fac- tory, for example. And I’m left with one important thought — the current Pac-12 CEO Group sounds like it knows what it’s doing. Oregon president Michael Schill is the chair of that group. He’s joined on the Pac-12 exec- utive committee by UW’s Cauce and Washington State president Kirk Schulz. Smart, tuned in, and a big-time Pacific North- west feel. Also, they’re all new- comers who inherited Scott. When I asked them about the distraction that Scott’s $5.3 million-a-year salary caused, Schulz said, “We are well aware of the PR surrounding Larry’s compensation. My goal going into this is that it should not be the No. 1 thing people are talking about when it comes to the Pac-12. “I want to make sure we tone that down a little bit.” When I asked about the downtown San Francisco headquarters bleeding the Pac- 12 out at a rate of $7 million a year, Cauce noted, “We’re not tying anyone’s hands so we’re not wedding to, ‘it has to be here’ or ‘it has to be there.’” Schulz added: “We would expect the person to come in and weigh in early and make some recommendations around the network, confer- ence location and staffing lev- els.” Basically, a total reboot. It’s worth pointing out, as the trio did on Thursday morning, that most of the conference’s presidents and chancellors weren’t on the job when Scott was hired a decade ago. Only ASU and UCLA are old-guard holdovers. The rest of the Pac-12 inherited the bozo and had to live with Scott’s tired act just like the rest of us. It’s why I was confident all along that it would make a change. Schill told me the confer- ence hasn’t yet crafted the job description for the new com- missioner. He wants to con- sult with the 11 other Pac-12 leaders and figure out what it should entail. He’ll also leave it to the search firm to help with that. But Schulz hit it square between the eyes when he of- fered, “You’ve got 12 schools, they’re like 12 children. You have to love ’em all different. I want the commissioner to show up at Pullman (and other schools) and say, ‘What can I do to help you succeed?’” Same for Washington, Ore- gon, USC and the others. The next commissioner has to un- derstand the challenges on the individual campuses. Has to be a good listener from the start. That person’s tenure should start with a two-day meeting with coaches, athletic direc- Yesterday City Hi/Lo/Prec.

I want to make sure we tone that down a little bit.” — Kirk Schulz, Washington State president Serena Morones/For The Oregonian/TNS file Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott is leaving the conference. tors and athletes on each of the campuses. Don’t fly private charter and stay at some five-star hotel, ei- ther. Maybe rent a motor home and park it in the lot outside the football stadium. Or crash at the Hampton Inn and eat takeout. A short list of candidates that I’d like to talk with? Con- doleezza Rice, for one. Also, West Coast Conference com- missioner Gloria Nevarez and Alabama AD Greg Byrne, who worked at multiple campuses in the conference. Maybe Oli- ver Luck and Rob Mullens, too.

I’d vote to sell it to a partner such as FS1 or ESPN and let them funnel resources into the thing. But as the presidents said on Thursday, those things will be recommendations from the new hire. A hire this group must now get dead, solid, perfect. I was struck by something else as I spoke to the trio of Pac-12 leaders on Thursday. They were engaged and in- telligent. They also sounded like a lot of passionate confer- ence fans. They talked about the Pac-12 as if they love and adore it. A couple of them confessed that they even se- cretly root for their rivals when it comes to competing on the national stage. Cauce said, “As much as I hate to say it, when the Cougs or the Ducks win outside the conference, it’s good for us.” Schill shot back: “I won’t say it because you’re in the press, but she’s been very supportive of us in certain situations. I’ll leave it at that.” The trio spoke with hope and clarity on Thursday. It was a breath of fresh air. Scott is technically still on the job through June, but gone was the dismissive arrogance of his ten- ure. It’s been replaced by hope. It feels like things are better already.
