Report: USC and UCLA to make move to Big Ten

WOW…Major moves in collegiate athletics…

Multiple sources have confirmed reports that USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac-12 conference for the Big 10.

The move comes just one year after Texas and Oklahoma announced a move from the Big 12 to the SEC, beginning in 2025.

Reports say that this next shift of collegiate athletics will take place as soon as 2024 with official announcements on the way.

This move essentially creates ‘Mega-conferences’. The SEC and Big Ten have taken the nation’s best programs in the last calendar year while the ACC, Big 12 and Pac 12 are sitting on the sidelines.

What does this mean for the future of collegiate athletics in terms of scheduling, postseason and recruiting?

Much like how NIL (name, image and likeness) has thrown a shadow of doubt over the traditions of college athletics, we just don’t know how these major moves will impact the game moving forward.

 

Trevor Lawrence offered his support for the Pac-12 players’ boycott effort

As the power conferences continued to push forward with hopes of holding a college football season amid a global pandemic.
players from the Pac-12 Conference went public with a threat to boycott the season if certain demands were not met.
In an article entry with The Players’ Tribune, “Players of the Pac-12” urged the conference to take specific action in the interest of player safety, social and racial justice, and protecting player scholarships.
That core message seemed to have the backing of college football’s biggest star as well.
Commenting on a tweet from Washington cornerback Elijah Molden, Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence endorsed the Pac-12 players’ push for fair treatment.
In Molden’s original tweet, he noted that there were components of the Pac-12 players’ demands that he didn’t necessarily agree with (though he didn’t go into specifics).
But the primary point of college athletes using their voices to challenge an exploitive system was something Molden supported.
And it sounded like Lawrence was in agreement there
