In other words, there are just two presidents, Schulz and Robbins, with ample experience in office and a solid grasp of college athletics.įortunately for the Pac-12, both of them are on the executive committee. What’s more, there is good reason to question Cauce’s interest in college sports and Crow’s instincts for college sports - he was a fervent supporter of Larry Scott - and we can’t help but wonder how much longer DiStefano, a septuagenarian, plans to remain on the job. Kliavkoff is at once negotiating a media deal and (presumably) working with the presidents to get the newcomers up to speed and keep the outgoing members engaged.
* Oregon’s John Scholz: In office since July 1, 2023 * Oregon State’s Jayathi Murthy: In office since September 2022 * Utah’s Taylor Randall: In office since September 2021 * Cal’s Carol Christ: In office since July 2017 retiring June 2024 2016 departing August 2023Īrizona’s Robert Robbins: In office since June 2017 * Stanford’s Tessier-Lavinge: In office since Sept. WSU’s Kirk Schulz: In office since June 2016 Washington’s Ana Mari Cauce: In office since October 2015 (An asterisk indicates presidents/chancellors who have less than two years of experience or are stepping down in the next year.)ĪSU’s Michael Crow: In office since July 2002Ĭolorado’s Phil DiStefano: In office since May 2009 Here’s the list in chronological order from the date of assuming office. However, Stanford’s situation reflects a larger challenge for the conference: board tumult.Īs outlined below, half of the 10 university leaders - we’re excluding USC and UCLA, which don’t vote on the media deal - are either new to their positions or have announced their departures. The school will vote to approve any reasonable media rights deal presented by commissioner George Kliavkoff, and it doesn’t matter if Tessier-Lavigne is on the job at the time or has been replaced by interim president Richard Saller. Absent an offer from the Big Ten, Stanford has little leverage within the conference power structure.
