With USC and UCLA moving out of the Pac-12, ByPatForde, RJ_Writes and CBB_Central break down what it means for college sports, Notre Dame’s independence and the future of the Power 5
On Thursday, Big Ten chancellors and presidents voted
, beginning in 2024. The move comes almost a year after Texas and Oklahoma decided to move from the Big 12 to the SEC. in the coming months, including an expected new television rights deal for the Big Ten. There are also many questions about the fallout and what’s to come.What happens now to the Pac-12?Forde:
The Pac-12 is in serious trouble, especially if the Big Ten also goes after Oregon and Washington, as has been speculated upon. Even if it’s just USC and UCLA, losing teams in Los Angeles is a crushing blow—athletically, academically, competitively and monetarily. L.A. is the recruiting Mecca of the conference, the biggest TV market, and a potential source of massive name, image and likeness funds.
Of those four choices, I honestly wouldn’t be shocked to see Notre Dame choose the road less taken and de-emphasize athletics—especially if the Fighting Irish are ultimately joined by the likes of Stanford, California and some of the more academically minded ACC schools . Those schools could form their own league, one grounded in more of a traditional college athletic mindset. There might even be an alliance with the Ivy League.
