Bill Walton on UCLA to Big Ten: ‘I Hope It Does Not Happen’

Many people are unhappy with UCLA’s decision to join the Big Ten, and that includes one of the school’s most famous athletic alums.

Bill Walton has been outspoken about his love for the Pac-12, so it’s not a surprise that he’s unhappy UCLA plans to leave the conference. Portland-based journalist John Canzano posted Walton’s full thoughts on JohnCanzano.com, and Walton explained exactly what makes him upset with UCLA’s decision.

“I don’t like this attempted move. I don’t support it. I hope it does not happen,” Walton said, per Canzano.

Walton went on to explain that his opinion isn’t just about personal preferences, but rather his belief extends to what he thinks is best for the school.
