USC and UCLA are reportedly headed to the Big Ten. Blockbuster move for the Big Ten. Devastating for PAC 12. https://t.co/bQW4g3t82F

Not buying it. That seems like a really dumb move. Of course, I didn't think tu and OU would want to join the SEC, or that the SEC would be dumb enough to admit them.

---

Makes perfect sense for the B1G

They have to do anything they can to keep up with the SEC these days, and USC and UCLA are pretty big names.

Hey,

If this is true, something to think about for us in the future. Kids would love to play in CA and the likes of OSU, MI, PSU etc..

Next stop Fresno State.

Texas Tech, Okie State, Kansas, and Iowa State (or whomever) call Pac 12: "Yo… we're still available over here… if you change your mind… pretty please"

the "Alliance" in which they never agreed to anything, and disagreed on the playoff, and even if they did agree on anything, there is nothing to stop any team or conference from changing their position the next day and leave.

its quite a formidable alliance.

So now Maryland vs. USC/UCLA will be a conference game? That's event worse than the WV travel in the BDF.

---

I can see this being used as a recruiting advantage for SEC schools. Asking kids and their families if they really want to endure that kind of travel for games.

I am surprised that the state of California would let UCLA and Cal split up. I would think the state would try to stop it if they can.

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

You mean like Texas legislature stopped either us or Texas? Or Okie legislature stopped OU from leaving okie state?

It's time everyone realized that legislatures aren't getting too involved. Maybe they will have some hearing that doesn't do anything or something.

The difference between UCLA and Carroll, are in the same state system.

No way the power brokers and politicians in Cali. let this happen. USC maybe as they are private with their own $$ and can do whatever they want really, but no way UCLA is able to do it.

It would be a stupid move anyway, and even if there are many benefits for UCLA and USC, I can't see any benefit to the B1G teams by adding these two.

Think there is a minimal chance for this to happen. Also, it doesn't really make sense logistically or for TV, etc. Still with the SEC was not short-sighted in accepting cow and OU but it made a lot more sense than adding two teams in CA to the B1G IMHO.

Trying to wrap my mind around this. I can't see the Pac-12 (10) surviving this at all. Too late to grab BYU at this point, and you'd probably need Boise State as well.

Prediction: Zona and ASU to BDF, maybe Stanford and Cal as well. Oregon is probably in an absolute panic at this point --maybe they can get in the BDF before the AZ schools, maybe not. BDF might want Oregon over Cal.

I think that UCLA and USC read the writing on the wall and saw the significant gap in TV money between the PAC 12 and the B1G/SEC. They had to do something, and they are both AAU schools who fit the B1G profile, unlike a certain school in Norman.

The Pac 10 is toast, and I don't know what they remaining schools do. Also this is not good news for the ACC. There will be tremendous pressure at Clemson, UNC and UVa to do something. The ACC can only rdie the Clemson train for so long.

whomever the pac whatever commissioner is should be fired twice.

The new guy has tried some things. He got out of the San Francisco lease, but it may be too late. The only TV slot that they own is the 10:30 EST slot, and let's face it, that's make the 12:00 EST slot look good.

Love that people who have no clue about the situation, what information has been reviewed etc. can believe they know more about the situation than these school do and say its a dumb idea to move or for the Big 10 to take the schools.

Then on the flip side I could see ND, Duke, wake, and Pitt to the big 10 too

McInnis80 gets it.
