Bill Walton has broken his silence on UCLA’s impending jump to the Big Ten, and his opinion is sure to resonate well beyond Westwood.
Walton, the unofficial ambassador of the Conference of Championships, told Pac-12 reporter John Canzano that he is not in favor of UCLA leaving the conference to join the Big Ten.
“I don’t like this attempted move, I don’t support it, I hope it does not happen,” Walton said in a written statement. “I went to UCLA — gladly, willingly, and proudly, it was my dream that dream never included the Big 10,” he said.
