Emails obtained by USA TODAY Sports shed light on how public messaging was managed behind the scenes of commissioner Larry Scott's departure from the Pac-12 Conference in 2021.
And yet it didn’t always go according to script.
"The purpose of this meeting is to continue the discussion we had in our earlier executive session about the commissioner," Schill wrote."Larry will not be present and I am not letting him know we are scheduling this session since I don’t want to get him worried about things. So please be discreet.""I will ask her to schedule 90 minutes although I anticipate we will need only 60," Schill wrote."I will also invite Mike Sheetz to the meeting.
The Pac-12 university presidents and chancellors collectively govern the Pac-12 and the commissioner. Schill is the chair of the league executive committee, which includes Washington President Ana Mari Cauce and Washington State President Kirk Schulz. A spokesman for Washington clarified Cauce’s comments in response to an inquiry from USA TODAY Sports.
"I mentioned to President Schulz that Larry would be on this call," Schulz's assistant wrote."I believe he will try and speak with your President and President Cauce about this . But if it helps for me to relay – he has some concerns about Larry being on the call and if the leadership team will be as open as they might be if he is not on the call."
