USC, UCLA departures to Big Ten offer shot for Aztecs' long-needed leap to power conference
The thought of USC and UCLA kicking the Pac-12 to the curb and rushing to the Big Ten initially stunned, like being doused with a bucket of Antarctic ice water.This is the bold, brash and berserk new world of major college athletics. Big 12 anchors Oklahoma and Texas packed bags for the SEC. Name, Image and Likeness has put millions into the pockets of teenagers. The transfer portal is busier than O’Hare Airport.
“San Diego State is positioning ourselves best for whatever the next iteration of the NCAA might be,” said Aztecs Athletic Director J.D. Wicker, walking the fine line of not besmirching the Mountain West while hinting the university has in no way been caught flat-footed.Wicker talked about $310 million Snapdragon Stadium, set to open this fall. He pointed out that San Diego is the eighth largest city in the U.S. . He pushed competitive and academic success.
It’s mind-boggling to consider the Big Ten stretching from New Jersey to the California coast. Matchups between Rutgers and UCLA, more than 2,400 miles apart, hardly will make national fans swoon. And imagine USC’s wake-up call, traveling to Purdue in the frigid dead of a Midwestern winter.It’s about money … money … and more money. The Big Ten more than doubled the media-rights haul of the Pac-12 in the 2021 fiscal year, according to the Los Angeles Times.
