Per the Dallas Morning News:
If SMU had its way, likely no one outside a privileged few would have known he was there — the man who could hold the school’s athletic future in his hands.
But wait, was he actually at Moody Coliseum on Wednesday night as expected?
“I hope he’s here,” SMU senior Jordan Thomas said during the second half.
“He” would be Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff, who is searching for a new media rights deal and, potentially, new conference additions to strengthen his negotiation after the departures of USC and UCLA. That would be the reason for his visit to SMU on Wednesday, and a recent trip to San Diego State, according to multiple reports.
A Pac-12 spokesman declined to comment on the reported visit. SMU officials didn’t answer inquiries, either. But a person with knowledge of the visit told The Dallas Morning News that Kliavkoff had made it to campus, and he was photographed during the men’s basketball game against Temple on Wednesday night.
Go Gophers!!
