The Big Ten's addition of USC and UCLA gives OSU another blue-chip competitor for conference titles, more trips to Pasadena and increased recruiting exposure in California.
Although USC hasn’t won a national title since 2004, it claims nine in its storied history, which also includes 39 conference championships, 55 bowl appearances and six Heisman Trophy winners. The recruiting cache Riley brings to the table has already been felt in Los Angeles, which means USC could quickly be back on its once great trajectory moving forward.
Not only is that a win for the Ohio State football team, but it will also open up the checkbook for the rest of the Buckeyes’ sports programs as well.With the addition of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC, which will expand the conference to 16 teams in 2025, discussions about a super league that could operate as its own entity in college football have not been hard to find.
Ohio State has played in the Rose Bowl just three times since 2009, and the Buckeyes weren’t all that thrilled to be there this past season since it meant they missed a chance to compete for college football’s biggest prize. But with UCLA soon to be in the Big Ten, those trips will be a lot more frequent and they won’t mean the Buckeyes are missing out on a better postseason path.
With the Big Ten’s reach now expanding out west, though, Ohio State will only get more exposure in the recruiting hotbed that is California.The Hurry-Up: USC and UCLA Joining the Big Ten Would Grow Ohio State's Recruiting Footprint, Five-star RB Kameron Davis Picks Up an Offer
