Like a point guard trying to force a turnover to complete an improbable rally, Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff remained on the attack Wednesday in his bid to keep UCLA from abandoning his conference for the Big Ten.
Kliavkoff said at Pac-12 basketball media day that among the more than 100 UCLA coaches and athletes he had corresponded with about the departure, there was unanimous opposition.
"I have yet to talk to anyone in the UCLA and USC community who's in favor of the move," Kliavkoff said at conference headquarters, referencing the Trojans' exit alongside their crosstown rivals scheduled for August 2024. "I will say that I probably hear from folks who are not in favor, not surprisingly."
