I absolutely love USC and UCLA coming to the B1G! Now I can drive an hour or so up the I-5 and watch my Wolverines play an October or November game in fantastic weather.
Bruins fan here. Yes, attendance has been down. Early in the year due mostly to the fact that classes are not in session until late September, early October. I will say, besides that, yes fan attendance has been down last decade or so. Hoping we can show up for some big time games.
UCLA fan here as well. I believe attendance has been low due to the the crappy seasons and weak matchups in the pac 12. Now that we can finally play against great football programs in the Big 10. UCLA fans and students will be more interested in showing up.
Didn’t Nebraska travel to UCLA in 2012 as a member of the B1G? I know no one talks about them anymore but that’s a fanbase that travels well, and I think they have a lot of alumni here.
Yes Nebraska will travel better than any other team in America! I was at that game against Nebraska in 2012, those were some nice fans. UCLA won 36-30 that day. Wow what an experience seeing the rose bowl filled!
Los Angeles native here... Can we be honest?! There's waaay more entertainment options than college football, we also have Dodgers, Lakers, Rams, Chargers, and MORE (Concerts, movies etc.)! As long as the games are solid and competitive, the fans would likely show. Also, he mentions the Rose Bowl being barren, we all saw what the Coli looked like this last year, right? Anyway, we'll see how it all goes down... :)
@@MrWildcat2009 one minor correction. It was thru 2015. The Rams came back home in 2016. The San Diego Chargers (who happen to play in LA) relocated in 2017.
Bruh, until you said that I never once gave all this a thought from that stand point!! But I gotta say I'm all in for that if that is indeed the case. I am here for it!!!!! Sir your logic cannot be denied.
Last big 10 team to play at UCLA was Nebraska in 2012. Nebraska Fans were not a factor. Sure some teams will travel well but hopefully Michigan has a good record when they play. I don't see Illinois or northwestern or even Indiana Minnesota traveling well. As a UCLA fan UCLA does not travel well at all.
Actually, I could easily envision 20 or 24 schools - with six divisions of four schools - where the winners of each division play one another - as a springboard to an overall champion.
I’m a USC fan and I grew up in Pasadena so this is a perfect match to me and I need not explain why other than The Rose Bowl Jan 1st. But shout out to Rich, you don’t have to worry about the Trojan fans showing up for Ohio St, Penn St or Michigan game at the Coli!! Remember 2008, OSU and USC? Just saying. But this is gonna be real good! ✌🏽
I remember that game. It was 28-3 at halftime I recall. Rey Malaluga got a pick 6 before half time. That was USC’s last great year with Sanchez at quarterback!
@@Goyanks28 the last great SC team of the Pete era. The tOSU alum next to me walked out in the 3rd and said I'll see you at the natty game, I unfortunately already bought tix. Then Oregon state happened 😢

2:10 Last Big Ten regular season game played in Pasadena was in 2012 vs Nebraska. And FTR, UCLA hasn’t played a Big Ten school in regular season since that home and home vs Nebraska in 2013 followed by Nebraska in a bowl game in 2015.
That's not what he's saying. He said conference game as in like 2 big 10 teams playing each other. At least that's the way I understood it. Ucla is pac 12 therefore it was not a conference game.
I hope the Big 10 schedule makers are so pissed off that they send UCLA and USC to Minnesota, Northwestern and Rutgers every year and send the big teams like Ohio St and Michigan to their stadiums so the REAL fans of those schools will flood and overwhelm the fair weather fans of UCLA and USC. Sincerely, a bitter PAC-12 fan.
Coach Riley decided to leave OK because he wanted to be the Big Guy in the PAC-12, and not have to deal with the SEC. Well, that didn't work out so well for Riley because instead of a PAC-12 schedule it's going to be the B1G! Good Luck!
@@scottmichaels12 Well by 2024, Caleb most likely will be gone to the NFL that year. It will most likely by then be that 5 star QB Nelson as the starting qb.
Dan Guerrero was why attendance has been pathetic at the rose bowl, he was a terrible AD and hired bad coaches like Karl Dorrell, and Rick Neuheisal, and the basketball program had sucked since he fired Ben Howland. Only this past year have both programs began to turn things around under a new AD.

He’s not talking about how entertaining the games will be he’s talking about how tough winning is going to be against the other blue bloods in the conference.
Looking forward to it. The new rivalries are beginning to start. In my humble opinion, this UCLA/USC move has more of a national college football impact than the Okla/Texas move to the SEC. My only concern will be not only for the 2024 football season but for the 2022 and 2023 seasons, also. I'm referencing the politicians and their pie in the sky actions except for them.
@@ihartcntnt, should be 5-2. As White fumbled into the end zone, back in the 1978 Rose Bowl. If the fumble would have been called correctly, Michigan may have won another championship or tied it with Alabama.
One problem for UCLA in the Rose Bowl is that the stadium is so far away from campus. Also, honestly, as someone who used to live in Pasadena, most people around the city lean more toward USC. UCLA needs a Westside venue. Where could you put it though?
@@Cahluvca not an SC, Michigan, OSU, Alabama…but it’s no Illinois, NC, Iowa and the like. Ucla is no slouch and many of its players get drafted in the NFL.
Hey USC! ND alum here. You guys better not wimp out and try to get out of our almost 100 year old annual rivalry game, like Michigan did with ND. We will see you as usual Thanksgiving weekend at the Coliseum. And if you have an issue once in awhile playing our normal mid Oct game in South Bend, we'll be happy to move that game to Thanksgiving weekend too! You should probably get used to playing cold November games in the northern Midwest. Remember SC ND 48-36-5 vs USC
Well there's a rumor that ND might be joining the Big 10. That would be great for both teams so they can both play a real schedule. Whatever happens I'm sure they will keep the tradition going plus neither team wants to lose all that money that the game generates.
@K Brewski, Michigan didn't back out of the rivalry. Jack Swarbrick had an opt out letter sent to then Athletic Director Dave Brandon right before the start of the 2012 game. Michigan 25-1-17 Note Dame
@@MarcAndElena Obviously Notre Dame didn't end the series because they played in 2018 and 19, and there are 2 more games in the 2030s. I know all about the opt out letter. That was only to opt out of 3 specific games in 14-16 due to the ACC agreement to play 5 games per year, it was not a cancellation of the series. Michigan made a big whining deal about it, but the 2 schools already had had difficulties making an agreement beyond 2019 because Michigan wanted to reduce the yearly series because of B10 scheduling complications when they added Nebrsska in 2011 and Rutgers/Maryland in 2014. It was Michigan's intent to get out of the yearly commitment due to B10 expansion that ended the yearly rivalry. Re the Series record, the first 7 victories for Michigan were from 1887 to 1902 before the NCAA existed. Thus the games in the 1800s and early 1900s were basically club football games. Congrats Michigan, you ruled the 1800s frat boys! Lmao. Then when Michigan vetoed ND joining the B10 in the early 1900s, Notre Dame and Michigan didn't play from 1910 to 1941. Anti Catholic bias, look it up. Since 1942 the series is dead even 17-17-1. Nice try.
The SEC is also going to get rid of divisions. Each school is going to get 3 permanent annual opponents, plus 6 other conference games. Two years later, the 6 other games are played against the remaining conference teams. As for the Pac 10, it should probably merge with whatever Big 12 teams don't get taken by the SEC and Big 10.
The last time UCLA played Big 10 teams in the Rose Bowl: Michigan in 2000 (UCLA won 23-20) Ohio State in 2001 (UCLA won 13-6). Truth be told if a good team with a big name comes to the Rose Bowl the fans WILL show up. Just ask LSU (and by the way they lost, too). UCLA is the only school in the Pac-12 that has a winning record vs the SEC. How many Big-10 teams can say that?
Ohio st will now be second best team after USC!!!!!what u talking about…..USC will be monster team powerhouse like Pete Carroll years by 2024….Southern Cali area has the best high school talent in the country and the best will play for Riley now and stay home like Carroll used to keep them home.
The Big 10 used to be called the Western Conference. Don’t really know when it changed the name, but, it was before the 1950s when I was a young Iowa fan. And, Michigan State was not in the conference. They joined in the early 50s. Up until the late 30s, University of Chicago was a member of the Western Conference. The Rose Bowl affiliation between the Big 10 and the Pacific Coast Conference, the previous name of the PAC 8/10/12, began in the late 40s. Personally, I’m sad to see that go away.
My proposal: take the idea of four divisions of four (or four divisions of five if things really get crazy) and have a playoff of the division winners, but make the Rose Bowl the new mega-big-10 conference championship
I can't wait to see UCLA & USC come to Wisconsin, Iowa, Minn. in November. In So. Cal. 50 degrees is considered cold, It can get to 10 below zero in November here, good luck with that LA
As a Buckeye fan I’ve hated the Big10 for many years. This conference is full of has beens and bums walking around with their hands out awaiting tv money they didn’t earn. With the additions of USC and UCLA we have a chance of restoring credibility again.
Man, Rich don't we (USC fans) know it! I went to the USC-Iowa bowl game in San Diego a couple yrs ago and it was EMBARRASSING. More Iowa fans than us. The parking lot was FILLED with Black & Yellow. And then we proceeded to get stomped by Iowa. The WORST football experience I've ever had. But it was nice to see AJ Epenesa do his thing! I'm a fan of good football before team loyalty and AJ Epenesa was incredible to watch in person.
Rich, USC has OWNED Ohio St. and Michigan in Rose Bowl games. We'll play anyone anytime. Btw..Michigan has been average, WI good but not great. SC will be just fine.
@@dr.banoub9233 we might, very well, be the defending National Champions. P..S There will never be anything but Cardinal and Gold in the Coliseum. I noticed you didn’t go there, Mr Eisen. Good move.
Lol, I love how people from southern Cal think that they are to elite to play in the PAC 12, yet, since the formation of the PAC 12 no LA team has won the PAC 12 title! They will become the scrimmage team for the big 10! Good luck.
@@eliottbressler8562 Everyone acts like all the schools in the Big10 and SEC are power houses. They are not. In fact, as this money grab continues, look for the weaker programs in the major conferences to get expelled. That is the point Senor Big10 Elitist
Rutgers, Purdue, Northwestern (and Nebraska when Scott ‘Choke Job’ Frost isn’t their coach) will snatch your playoff dreams when you look past them. You’ll see.
As a buckeye fan I'm used to seeing OSU vs the pac-12 champ in the rose bowl in my 50 yrs, except when we make the playoff now. I think both sides like east vs west.
Sadly the playoffs have killed the Rose Bowl Game as we knew it. There's only been one year in the 8 playoff years in which the B1G and Pac-12 champs met in the Rose Bowl.
As for UCLA, they can’t compete in the PAC 12 with an athletic department deficit and L.A. players bolting out of state for more exposure. The Big Ten brings the resources UCLA needs and will dramatically improve recruiting. UCLA, and also USC, do not fear the competition.
How about this idea, split the SEC and Big 10 into 4 divisions, and then have them play an 11 game season with 8 conference games. Then the 9th conference games you match up the #1 teams, #2, #3, etc. from one division with another. Then the winners of the one-seed matchups play each other for the conference championship game. This way you get a conference tournament without adding another game to the schedule
If I was USC and UCLA I should’ve stayed in the PAC 12 those two haven’t faced real competition in a long time the resurgence of USC is going down the drain ….
Yep not only will the Midwest fans travel for the games but you have a lot that already live there that will jump at the chance to see their home team in person meanwhile so cal fans are fair weather and mostly apathetic
Speaking of travel, traveling to the East or Midwest for an 9:00am is like a 6am or 7am game PST. Definitely an advantage for East Coast and Midwestern time zones. These kids from UCLA or USC better learn to get up early and late night party goers might want to go to school for Maryland or Rutgers. 😝
Rich is forgetting the fact that there are many midwest transplants who live in So Cal right now. My parents came from Iowa. Long Beach has so many Iowans that when the USS Iowa battleship was looking for a home, there was only one logical place to put her. The last time Ucla played in the Rose Bowl game, the opponent was Wisconsin and the stands were a Sea of Red.
As someone whose team I was born into rooting for has played against these two in the PAC since I was born, I'm cackling watching this. This media deal better better *better* be worth it, because they're going to top out at 4 wins a year for the next decade. You really think Trojan and Bruin fans are going to Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio in the winter for away games? When the Bruins haven't been to the Rose Bowl since 1998 and has had 6 8+ win seasons since then? And USC has been "a year away" from being a national contender since Carroll left but has only managed one or two seasons where that bore out. These are *not* the two schools I would pick from the PAC to go to richer pastures, but they are the two that I would expect to, and they better hope to God that the gamble is worth it.
it's all about the money from tv revenue. The Big 10s teams are getting something like 20 million more a year than the Pac 12 teams. Also the Big 10 is going to have a big advantage as far as the weather. I'm wondering how this will affect recruiting.
Isn’t the four mentioned the only four to be worried about and not all of those consistently nor for very much in the last ten years ? It’s not a “shaking in my cleats” lineup.
Lincoln Riley is going to be able to recruit at a nationwide level because of the NIL deals being nationwide endorsement deals. The top HS players in the nation are going to the Big Ten to build their nationwide brands even before they are drafted into the NFL.
Hahahahaha! Bless your heart. TBOW will jump ship before he moves to the Big 10. He doesn’t want to play Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, or Iowa! He’s a coward! lol
@sooner born….,USC has a winning record against all those schools and also OU by the way…..11 national titles more then any school except Alabama for now…..USC will be top dog in the big 10 Ohio st second.
Naw more than likely MSU and UofM gets east division with Maryland and Rutgers and TOSU gets the south with PSU, Purdue & IU. At best TOSU & UofM are in the same division for the sake of rivalry week.
Why would the Big Ten even accept UCLA? Because of the LA tv market? I can understand the excitement about what Lincoln Riley is bringing to USC, but I think USC will be a middling Big Ten team and their rating will drop again like they did in Helton's final years.
Don't forget that Nebraska travels like crazy

Well there's a rumor that ND might be joining the Big 10. That would be great for both teams so they can both play a real schedule. Whatever happens I'm sure they will keep the tradition going plus neither team wants to lose all that money that the game generates.
@K Brewski, Michigan didn't back out of the rivalry. Jack Swarbrick had an opt out letter sent to then Athletic Director Dave Brandon right before the start of the 2012 game.
Michigan 25-1-17 Note Dame
@@MarcAndElena
Obviously Notre Dame didn't end the series because they played in 2018 and 19, and there are 2 more games in the 2030s. I know all about the opt out letter. That was only to opt out of 3 specific games in 14-16 due to the ACC agreement to play 5 games per year, it was not a cancellation of the series. Michigan made a big whining deal about it, but the 2 schools already had had difficulties making an agreement beyond 2019 because Michigan wanted to reduce the yearly series because of B10 scheduling complications when they added Nebrsska in 2011 and Rutgers/Maryland in 2014. It was Michigan's intent to get out of the yearly commitment due to B10 expansion that ended the yearly rivalry.
Re the Series record, the first 7 victories for Michigan were from 1887 to 1902 before the NCAA existed. Thus the games in the 1800s and early 1900s were basically club football games. Congrats Michigan, you ruled the 1800s frat boys! Lmao. Then when Michigan vetoed ND joining the B10 in the early 1900s, Notre Dame and Michigan didn't play from 1910 to 1941. Anti Catholic bias, look it up.
Since 1942 the series is dead even 17-17-1. Nice try.
USC & UCLA female cheerleaders, coming to the Big Ten fans! Wonderful!
I want Oregon's cheerleaders to be a part of this as well!
What does Rose 🌹 Bowl mean anymore?
Add Cal and Stanford and call it a day. That’s your West division of the Big 10.
The SEC is also going to get rid of divisions. Each school is going to get 3 permanent annual opponents, plus 6 other conference games. Two years later, the 6 other games are played against the remaining conference teams. As for the Pac 10, it should probably merge with whatever Big 12 teams don't get taken by the SEC and Big 10.
The last time UCLA played Big 10 teams in the Rose Bowl: Michigan in 2000 (UCLA won 23-20) Ohio State in 2001 (UCLA won 13-6). Truth be told if a good team with a big name comes to the Rose Bowl the fans WILL show up. Just ask LSU (and by the way they lost, too). UCLA is the only school in the Pac-12 that has a winning record vs the SEC. How many Big-10 teams can say that?
Ohio State will still dominate the conference...
Ohio st will now be second best team after USC!!!!!what u talking about…..USC will be monster team powerhouse like Pete Carroll years by 2024….Southern Cali area has the best high school talent in the country and the best will play for Riley now and stay home like Carroll used to keep them home.
The Big 10 used to be called the Western Conference. Don’t really know when it changed the name, but, it was before the 1950s when I was a young Iowa fan. And, Michigan State was not in the conference. They joined in the early 50s. Up until the late 30s, University of Chicago was a member of the Western Conference. The Rose Bowl affiliation between the Big 10 and the Pacific Coast Conference, the previous name of the PAC 8/10/12, began in the late 40s. Personally, I’m sad to see that go away.
A super conference should be made. Like they do European soccer conference groups. That is one thing soccer does right.
"Come out to the coaaasst..." LOL
ASU would love to play Michigan at 1 PM in Tempe in mid-September. Let’s go, Devils!
Probably have to settle for Texas Tech instead. Not quite Michigan, but better than UNLV.
My proposal: take the idea of four divisions of four (or four divisions of five if things really get crazy) and have a playoff of the division winners, but make the Rose Bowl the new mega-big-10 conference championship
Did you really think USC was going into the big10 with Clay Helton?? They hired Lincoln Riley for this reason.
I can't wait to see UCLA & USC come to Wisconsin, Iowa, Minn. in November. In So. Cal. 50 degrees is considered cold, It can get to 10 below zero in November here, good luck with that LA
As a Buckeye fan I’ve hated the Big10 for many years. This conference is full of has beens and bums walking around with their hands out awaiting tv money they didn’t earn. With the additions of USC and UCLA we have a chance of restoring credibility again.
Bring in Oregon, Washington, Stanford, and Utah. Thus 10 teams in each division. Thus the BIG 10 (10 teams in each division) still sticks. 😆
Man, Rich don't we (USC fans) know it! I went to the USC-Iowa bowl game in San Diego a couple yrs ago and it was EMBARRASSING. More Iowa fans than us. The parking lot was FILLED with Black & Yellow. And then we proceeded to get stomped by Iowa. The WORST football experience I've ever had. But it was nice to see AJ Epenesa do his thing! I'm a fan of good football before team loyalty and AJ Epenesa was incredible to watch in person.
But that bozo head coach is out. I dont even wanna mention his name. I'm excited to see how different the culture and team looks under Lincoln Riley.
@gingram2…..Helton the bafoon was USC coach he didn’t have a clue…..He did lots of damage to SC football.
Rich, USC has OWNED Ohio St. and Michigan in Rose Bowl games. We'll play anyone anytime. Btw..Michigan has been average, WI good but not great. SC will be just fine.
Indiana is really gonna show out. Same with Rutgers.
Bring it.
FightOn ✌️
✌️
Fucla
@@dr.banoub9233 we might, very well, be the defending National Champions.
P..S
There will never be anything but Cardinal and Gold in the Coliseum.
I noticed you didn’t go there, Mr Eisen. Good move.
Lol, I love how people from southern Cal think that they are to elite to play in the PAC 12, yet, since the formation of the PAC 12 no LA team has won the PAC 12 title!
They will become the scrimmage team for the big 10!
Good luck.
Big Ten should invite Washington and Oregon also. That would be awesome.
I am sure the thought of playing Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana, Purdue, Nebraska, Minnesota and Northwestern has SoCal shaking in their boots.
What about OSU PSU Mich MSU Wisconsin and Iowa?
@@eliottbressler8562 Everyone acts like all the schools in the Big10 and SEC are power houses. They are not. In fact, as this money grab continues, look for the weaker programs in the major conferences to get expelled. That is the point Senor Big10 Elitist
Rutgers, Purdue, Northwestern (and Nebraska when Scott ‘Choke Job’ Frost isn’t their coach) will snatch your playoff dreams when you look past them. You’ll see.
Sorry. Last I checked airfare has tripled. I just got a quote of $1990 for an airfare that traditionally was $400
As a buckeye fan I'm used to seeing OSU vs the pac-12 champ in the rose bowl in my 50 yrs, except when we make the playoff now. I think both sides like east vs west.
Sadly the playoffs have killed the Rose Bowl Game as we knew it. There's only been one year in the 8 playoff years in which the B1G and Pac-12 champs met in the Rose Bowl.
As for UCLA, they can’t compete in the PAC 12 with an athletic department deficit and L.A. players bolting out of state for more exposure. The Big Ten brings the resources UCLA needs and will dramatically improve recruiting. UCLA, and also USC, do not fear the competition.
Hey Rich SC has a winning record against OSU, Michigan, Penn St, and tied with Mich St.
How about this idea, split the SEC and Big 10 into 4 divisions, and then have them play an 11 game season with 8 conference games. Then the 9th conference games you match up the #1 teams, #2, #3, etc. from one division with another. Then the winners of the one-seed matchups play each other for the conference championship game. This way you get a conference tournament without adding another game to the schedule
If I was USC and UCLA I should’ve stayed in the PAC 12 those two haven’t faced real competition in a long time the resurgence of USC is going down the drain ….
Uh no. All SC needed for the resurgence was a HC who knows the the hell he’s doing and money. They’ll have both now. Lezzgo ✌🏼
Yep not only will the Midwest fans travel for the games but you have a lot that already live there that will jump at the chance to see their home team in person meanwhile so cal fans are fair weather and mostly apathetic
Lincoln Riley now has probably the best recruiting talent right in his backyard which will now stay and play.
This is great for the sport just like LIV Golf is for golf. More competition and money.
Speaking of travel, traveling to the East or Midwest for an 9:00am is like a 6am or 7am game PST. Definitely an advantage for East Coast and Midwestern time zones. These kids from UCLA or USC better learn to get up early and late night party goers might want to go to school for Maryland or Rutgers. 😝
USC and UCLA went calling.....
I’ve heard that and I’ve heard it was Fox.
USC will be ready!! UCLA, who cares!! Big Ten....Bring it!
62-33
Ucla beat Nebraska at the rose bowl. In the past ucla has knocked off Ohio state and Michigan when the big 10 was heavily favored.
If they played this year Ohio state beats ucla by 60
UCLA in it's current condition won't beat Rutgers or Maryland.
@@chrisromero5816 ucla put up more points than Ohio state did last season against Oregon. It would be a lot closer
@@dodgerguy2012 being a lot closer than 60 aint much of a brag they would still get blown out and I'm a Michigan fan
I thought we were talking about what DID happen, not what MIGHT happen.
Rich is forgetting the fact that there are many midwest transplants who live in So Cal right now. My parents came from Iowa. Long Beach has so many Iowans that when the USS Iowa battleship was looking for a home, there was only one logical place to put her. The last time Ucla played in the Rose Bowl game, the opponent was Wisconsin and the stands were a Sea of Red.
Then again, west coast Oregon went to Ohio state. Beat them
As someone whose team I was born into rooting for has played against these two in the PAC since I was born, I'm cackling watching this. This media deal better better *better* be worth it, because they're going to top out at 4 wins a year for the next decade. You really think Trojan and Bruin fans are going to Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio in the winter for away games? When the Bruins haven't been to the Rose Bowl since 1998 and has had 6 8+ win seasons since then? And USC has been "a year away" from being a national contender since Carroll left but has only managed one or two seasons where that bore out. These are *not* the two schools I would pick from the PAC to go to richer pastures, but they are the two that I would expect to, and they better hope to God that the gamble is worth it.
they both have winning records against the big10 as a USC fan i expect to be the top of the conference in year one
“Top out at 4 wins for the next decade” … noted
it's all about the money from tv revenue. The Big 10s teams are getting something like 20 million more a year than the Pac 12 teams. Also the Big 10 is going to have a big advantage as far as the weather.
I'm wondering how this will affect recruiting.
Love to see USC or UCLA at Michigan, late october, with Sleet and snow.....
You won't. The east division will only play them in the championship (in sunny LA
Isn’t the four mentioned the only four to be worried about and not all of those consistently nor for very much in the last ten years ? It’s not a “shaking in my cleats” lineup.
Looking like it might be 18 teams in the big 10
Maybe 20.
No scheduling ND unless they join a conference
USC had 30k at the Coliseum in a spring scrimmage game.
I needs it. I needs it so gatdam bad!!!!
UCLA averaged 70,000 fans when mora was coaching. People don’t like chip Kelly. Hopefully he’s fired. People will show up.
Chip Kelly is doing a decent job. I could see them winning 9 or 10 games this year.
A lot of these teams relocating are going to get a wake up call.
Lincoln Riley is going to be able to recruit at a nationwide level because of the NIL deals being nationwide endorsement deals. The top HS players in the nation are going to the Big Ten to build their nationwide brands even before they are drafted into the NFL.
Hahahahaha! Bless your heart. TBOW will jump ship before he moves to the Big 10. He doesn’t want to play Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, or Iowa! He’s a coward! lol
@sooner born….,USC has a winning record against all those schools and also OU by the way…..11 national titles more then any school except Alabama for now…..USC will be top dog in the big 10 Ohio st second.
@@rubengonzalez750 Haha! Your past won’t save you from the beatings you’re about to take. TBOW will be gone before then anyways! lol
It's ridiculous. These aren't college teams. Very few of these kids are students.
Nebraska 🎈🎈🎈🎈
Call it the "Super Sixteen" Conference
Universities should just get out of football. Get businesses to sponsor the teams. And they can play all their games in Birmingham.
If they go 4 Divisions in the Big-10 you know they're gonna screw us with MSU, Ohio State & Penn State in with Michigan.
They will have divisions for scheduling a 3+6 schedule but the conf champ game will be best 2 teams no matter the division.
Naw more than likely MSU and UofM gets east division with Maryland and Rutgers and TOSU gets the south with PSU, Purdue & IU. At best TOSU & UofM are in the same division for the sake of rivalry week.
They won't do that but I wish they would. Go Blue
Why would the Big Ten even accept UCLA? Because of the LA tv market? I can understand the excitement about what Lincoln Riley is bringing to USC, but I think USC will be a middling Big Ten team and their rating will drop again like they did in Helton's final years.
Haha it’s going to be SC, Ohio St and everyone else. ✌🏼
UCLA and SC go hand in hand.
Package deal basically
@@BamsCam226 spanked you last year. 62-33 go Bruins
