USC and UCLA to join Big Ten Conference in 2024

The Trojans and the Bruins are getting a change of scenery.

USC and UCLA are set to exit the Pac-12 and become the newest members of the Big Ten in 2024, another seismic shift for a college football landscape that has been rocked by conference realignments in recent years. The move is expected to receive unanimous approval from the Big Ten presidents and chancellors, who are meeting Thursday evening to cast a formal vote.

The news broke Thursday morning when Pac-12 sportswriter Jon Wilner Tweeted that USC and UCLA were both planning to leave for the Big Ten as early as 2024.
