In a recent interview, Pac-12 Commissioner Pat Chun discussed the state of leadership within the conference following a series of legal actions. When asked about the current leadership of the Pac-12, Chun bluntly stated, “There is none.”
The Pac-12 has been embroiled in a series of legal disputes over the past few years. In 2019, the conference was sued by former student-athletes for allegedly failing to protect them from head injuries. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed, but it highlighted the need for better leadership within the conference.
Chun’s comments reflect the current state of leadership within the Pac-12. With no clear leader in place, it’s difficult for the conference to move forward and address its issues. Chun believes that the only way for the Pac-12 to move forward is to find a leader who can bring stability and direction to the conference.
Chun also discussed the need for a unified voice within the conference. He believes that having a single leader would help ensure that all of the Pac-12’s members are on the same page when it comes to making decisions. He also noted that having a strong leader would help the conference remain competitive in the ever-changing landscape of college athletics.
The Pac-12 is in need of strong leadership if it wants to remain competitive in college athletics. Chun’s comments make it clear that the conference needs to find a leader who can bring stability and direction to the conference. Until then, it’s unlikely that the Pac-12 will be able to address its issues and move forward.
