The news that both USC and UCLA are headed to the Big Ten is overwhelming college sports right now.
The Trojans and Bruins are about to make the Big Ten Conference even bigger, and reports suggest this move is essentially a done deal.
This development begs another question: Has this move created the beginning of superconferences?
The rumors have been swirling for some time of the SEC and Big Ten forming superconferences with 16 teams. If USC and UCLA move and no teams leave the Big Ten, the league will have 16 teams. The Big Ten could change the name of its conference, but that’s a discussion for another day.
Notably, Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic revealed this could be the beginning of a 20-team (or larger) conference. WOW.
As Pete Thamel of ESPN reports, the USC-UCLA move to the Big Ten seems to be set.
Back to Auerbach’s point: A 20- or 24-team conference would be madness, and schools wouldn’t even be able to play each team once per season.
The math is going to be fascinating here, but at this point, it seems to be one of two main possibilities: four 16-team superconferences, or two 24-team mega-conferences?
Nonetheless, the world of college football is changing once again — and UCLA and USC have just stolen the spotlight in a major way.
Who knows what happens next?
