What UCLA, USC leaving for the Big Ten means for Arizona

Okay, now what?

UCLA and USC have announced they’re leaving the Pac-12 Conference, joining the Big Ten for the 2024-25 season. And that’s just the start of what figures to be an insane amount of movement within college sports.

Where Arizona figures in that is anybody’s guess at this point, but one thing is certain: the sooner the UA determines its future the better.

The 2022-23 athletic season, which unofficially begins Friday as the calendar switches to July, will be Arizona’s 45th in the Pac-10/12 since moving over from the Western Athletic Conference in 1978.
