The PAC 12's first mistake was hiring Kliavkoff instead of Oliver Luck. Had Luck been hired, I don't think the LA schools leave for the Big Ten and the conference stays together.

Yes he was. https://larrybrownsports.com/college-football/oliver-luck-pac-12-commissioner-candidate/572305

Luck, the father of former Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, was a candidate for the Pac-12 commissioner position in 2021, but league executives tabbed George Kliavkoff as the successor to Larry Scott instead. https://247sports.com/Article/pac-12-hires-oliver-luck-as-consultant-amid-conferences-struggles-per-report-214183675/

I'm not sure, but I'd bet he would have been if he'd known what they ultimately offered GK.
