The USC athletic dept source was a bit arrogant and childish. I mean, communication works in both directions, so if the unequal split was such a huge deal to them, maybe they should have made a proposal to Kliavkoff. It’s like a spouse saying, “Sorry you couldn’t read my mind, I’m outta here.”

To just run off without trying to find a solution tells me they had done the math and knew there was no way the PAC could come close, so they didn’t even bother asking. In that case, just own that you are making a mercenary move and don’t try to blame the conference.

I can see the logic behind unequal revenue splits, but man that's a hard one. OTOH, if you're OSU or WSU is taking less worth it to keep the conference intact? However, letting the school that earned it keep a larger share of the post season revenue is a no-brainer to me.
