INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Southern California coach Lincoln Riley strolled across the Lucas Oil Stadium stage for the first time Wednesday, greeted by a familiar tune — “Fight On.”
He was nowhere near the only newcomer to this week's Big Ten Media Days.
Riley's remarks were preceded by those of first-year UCLA coach DeShaun Foster and new Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith, who left his alma mater, Oregon State, in November.
But for all three, this was they're official welcoming party as four former Pac-12 schools and Smith made the move to the Big Ten.
