Gould, a long-time conference lieutenant, was formally promoted to the job of commissioner on March 1. In a few short months, she’s scrapped with the SEC and Big Ten, increasing her conference’s College Football Playoff distribution from $300,000 to $3.6 million and negotiated a football TV deal with The CW and Fox. Now, she’s busy plowing head, forging relationships with the Power 4.

For only being here 5 months, that's an amazing victory record so far. She strikes me as no nonsense and can go toe-to-toe with any executive -- anytime, anywhere. Based on the story about her dad going up against the town when she was a kid, she probably inherited a lot of that grit and determination. Let's hope she can continue to make some financial headway.

GO BEAVS!!!

They need her… particularly with Chun gone and and Schulz going…

The PAC-12 would be a stronger, more powerful conference if Ms Gould had been the commissioner instead of the two previous pretenders.

What would have been her plan for keeping the LA schools and the a real media deal?
