| 0:00.0 | Pactwell Commissioner George Kliakov, man, he had an awful, just an awful Pac-12 media day. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm Pete Mundo, Heartland College Sports. It's great to be here with you. For those of you watching on |
| 0:12.1 | YouTube, yes, we're coming from a remote location another week. By the way, we'll be back in the |
| 0:17.8 | studio next week, just getting some time off, spending it with family. |
| 0:21.2 | So if you're watching on YouTube, just know that we are so committed to you and committed |
| 0:26.1 | to the show that, yes, we are remote for this week, but don't read anything into that. |
| 0:31.9 | I promise you. |

| 1:21.8 | and the naysayers and the haters wrong that the Pact 12 was fine. The Pact 12 was a cohesive unit. And the PAC 12 was going to |
| 1:30.3 | survive with its 10 teams. Well, what happens? We find out this past week that the PAC 12 does not |
| 1:36.1 | have a new media rights deal. And in fact, the commissioner does not want to talk about TV deals, |
| 1:41.6 | media rights, or anything like that. So Klievkov at Pactwell Media Day this past week, |
