High-rollers continue to run Pac-12

Typical of Pac-12’s high-roller approach to sports under commissioner Larry Scott, the league offers a “media rate” of $289 (plus taxes) per night for the Pac-12 football media days July 26-27 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel. The days of “cost containment” are long gone. I had to laugh when remembering the old Pac-10 basketball media days at a Los Angeles airport hotel when former Oregon basketball coach Don Monson, stripped down to his boxer shorts and a T-shirt, walked into a media lounge and asked if there was any free beer. Don Monson doesn’t work here anymore.
