How do you feel about the Big adding UCLA and USC?

I think it’s good. The travel part might help getting ready for the tournament. Rutgers to ucla. Yikes!

I'm glad Purdue's in the Big Ten and not in the ACC.

BTN gets to go into the 2nd largest TV market... very Delaney move if it happens. Too bad people on the west coast don't give a crap about college sports.

Huge potential for the BTN foot-print......second biggest media market. From a financial aspect, it would be a positive impact for the conference, but it would definitely shake some things up.

Pretty much the biggest move the B1G could have made RE expansion (IMO Notre Dame and USC the two biggest football brands not in the SEC or B1G. And UCLA is a complete behemoth and always will be).

I don't necessarily love this college sports world we're living in, but if we gonna play in it might as well play to win. This = a monster win.

It's better way better than the Buttgers addition. Will the PAC 12 and B1G 12 be forced to merge in order to survive? Will Olympic sports will have the funds to sustain travel? especially if NIL forces Men's CBB and Football to stop supporting everything else.

Let's put all our expansion pots here. The other thread was started by a Hoosier.

This would be a major upgrade for the BIG.
Two of the best academic schools in the nation with great basketball history in UCLA and great football history in USC.

F@ck yeah...Bring them on and kick the dumba$$es like IU and Nebraska to the curb.

Let's merge the 2 conferences together. We'll have 2 divisions. One will be called the B1G and the other Pac-12.
