Can you believe it?
Just when it seemed USC had finally found a Pac-12 commissioner who was fully invested in the Trojans’ success on the football field and when USC’s odds of playing in the Pac-12 Championship had improved, the school might be packing its bags for another conference.
Though the move has not been finalized at the highest reaches of power and authority, USC and UCLA are reportedly in the process of moving to the Big Ten Conference as early as 2024.
Jon Wilner, who covers the Pac-12 as closely as anyone and would be the best-sourced reporter one could possibly imagine on a story of this magnitude, broke the news Thursday morning:
Just stop and think about what this means on so many levels. It’s impossible to wrap the mind around this story and the ripple effects it will have on college sports. It’s also mind-blowing that right after Lincoln Riley joins the Pac-12 Conference, thinking he was going to have an easier time winning a conference championship and making the College Football Playoff, he now might have to deal with Ohio State in a 16-team Big Ten.
The head spins.
We’re obviously going to keep you posted on this story, and we will immediately begin exploring the various dimensions of what a USC-UCLA move to the Big Ten would mean for everyone and everything in college sports.
