Injury reports could conceivably enhance the value of that data. Kliavkoff plans to discuss the concept with Pac-12 coaches and athletic directors in 2023.

“The concept is, if we’re going to collectively be selling our data and that data is going to be used for sports betting, we have to figure out a way to be consistent — not just across my conference but across conferences with respect to how we share injury data,” Kliavkoff said.
