And the shake up continues. USC and UCLA leave the PAC 12 to join the Big 10. I believe that the dominos are falling for the NCAA Division 1 football conferences will completely change in the next three years as colleges chase $$$$$.

Quote
The monetary outlook of the move would heavily interest the Bruins and Trojans. The news of the realignment shot an estimation of the Big Ten’s next TV deal up to nearly $1 billion. An agreement worth that much for conference members may have been too much for these teams to pass on.

With negotiations ahead for the Pac-12’s next TV deal, a lot was riding for commissioner George Kliavkoff on securing a more lucrative contract for his member’s schools. The loss of two of the conferences biggest brands will only make that more difficult to obtain.

When you start to talk money on this scale, nothing is off the table. That’s likely a factor that helped lead USC and UCLA to come to this blindsiding decision. It could mean just as much to other conferences who add in new members moving forward too. With this move reportedly already in the works, the Bruins and Trojans are looking to cash in on a major payday.

And I used to joke that Barry Switzer had the highest paid athletes in college football.
