of the conference formerly known as Pac12. It's ironically comical that he would say to the head ref "This is why we fired you..." The arrogant AD's and university presidents fired themselves from this "conference of champions" with their failure to see and accept reality.

Then look at his first statement in his uninvited, unprecedented commandeering of the microphone before the press conference. He says "I've been an athletic director for 12 years". I mean really, that's how he's leading off. "Hey, look at me, this is about my team, but first it's about me."

He clearly shows no self-awareness or humility, or lessons learned from the Pac12 debacle. So "Give me a break" Harlan, your importance and influence are legends in your own mind.
