Rumor: UCLA and USC Leaving Pac-12 For Big 10
According to rumors first broken by Mercury News, UCLA and USC are in the process of leaving the Pac-12 Conference for the Big 10. The move would be a massive blow to the Pac-12, which has already faced numerous struggles in the past few years.
If true, the move would be completed in 2024, which gives the Conference some time to figure out their future. UCLA and USC are two of the biggest names in the conference, and there are no easy replacements waiting in the wings. Mountain West schools like Fresno State and San Diego State are perhaps the best option, but pale in comparison to the major Los Angeles schools.
