If you thought the Great Realignment of College Athletics™ this last year was wild — with Texas and OU leaving the Big 12 for the SEC — then boy oh boy do we have another twist that tangles up league affiliation and the hierarchy of college athletics all the more.
According to a report from Pac-12 insider Jon Wilner on Thursday — someone who, by the way, would absolutely know such things — UCLA and USC are reportedly planning to leave the league for the Big Ten as early as 2024. Wilner notes that the move has not been finalized, but one this big likely wouldn’t have leaked unless it was all but in need of a rubber stamp.
