Pac-12 HQ is weeks behind in terms of sorting through legal rubble.
Soon after Implosion Friday across the Pac-12, Washington State president Kirk Schulz identified the most immediate task: Determining which schools had voting rights and control of the conference's assets.One month later, clarity has not emerged.
But it's required to assist Washington State, Oregon State and the outgoing schools by any means necessary. And once again, headquarters has failed to execute at the necessary level. Are the finances so messy, the bylaws so vague, that the experts are struggling to understand the critical details?One possible cause for the delay: The Pac-12's CFO, Morane Kerek, was hired in June but did not begin her duties until Aug. 9 — five days after the implosion.
Does that mean they have retained voting rights? Or have their public actions served as de facto declarations of intent? — They could enter the Mountain West next summer in a standard expansion move, just as Washington and Oregon are entering the Big Ten, and shutter the Pac-12 forever.
