I have known Darren for many years and he is a special person as well as an outstanding executive. The progress made by the club under his stewardship is hugely impressive. It's an honour for me to embark on the next step of the club's journey with ownership and the executive team. Darren has been incredibly supportive in our conversations and I look forward to working with him as we begin the transition of the CEO role.
As the Pac-12 looks to finalize its media rights deal, it aims for a term length of five years, aligning with critical industry timelines and providing flexibility.
Regardless of what motivated Reinsdorf to make this deal and announce it to the fanbase, I now have four hopes for the organization once Justin Ishbia becomes the controlling owner.
