The Pac-12 Conference is officially parting ways with commissioner George Kliavkoff, its board of directors announced on Friday.
The conference is expected to provide more details about its new leadership next week. Kliavkoff’s tenure will effectively conclude on February 29.
The Pac-12 has witnessed the bulk of its members defect to other Power 5 conferences over the past few years. UCLA and USC announced in May 2022 that they would join the Big Ten ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Eight other programs announced their intention to leave the Pac-12 last summer. Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah are going to the Big 12, Washington and Oregon are set to become Big Ten members, and Stanford and Cal will head to the ACC.
