Kliavkoff is proving to be a good leader
When things remain as is...a good leader finds ways to help the weak link in a group(Pac-12 football) give themselves a better chance at success.
The CFP is going to be at 4 teams for the next few years. Other than when Oregon beat the luckeyes last season, the Pac-12 hasn't even been in the Playoff discussion recently. So I like what Kliavkoff is trying to do.

It's all good until a P12 team makes the playoffs under these conditions and then Saban bitches. What cheese pairs best with his style of whine?

Commish K will have to get an 8-game conf sked approved by the members, and that's a high hurdle.
will the P-12 retain the cross-division 'protected' games between Furd, Cal & SC, UCLA every year, as they do now? so how many times would UO play in LA--twice per decade? cuz even in the new, NIL, recruiting world, that trip the LA is huge, and the only chance many recruits's families get to see them play in-person.
or go to the 'one-big-pile' model like the B12, do away w divisions, and put the top two finishers in the conf champ game. would UO still have a game every year w OS, UW, or Tree?
seems like we'd be giving up a lot for a whiff at the national playoff. yeah, there's a lot of shared revenue for everybody in the conf if a P-12 team makes the 'Final Four'. but it would be a net-loss for everybody most years. I don't really want to trade a game in Autzen v SC, Sparky, or BruCru for a home-and-home w Wyoming.
