The Washington State University athletic department has issued a temporary hiring freeze, as well as a pause on all non-essential business travel and purchases, as Pac-12 member schools grapple with how to settle a $50 million overpayment made by Comcast to the athletic conference's regional sports network.
“As has already been widely reported, each Pac-12 university will see a significant decrease in revenue distribution,” WSU President Kirk Schulz told the Seattle Times. “The decrease is a result of overpayments from one of the conference media partners that must be resolved.”
