It's official: USC and UCLA are heading to the Big Ten
In a matter of hours Thursday, fans of USC, UCLA and college sports at large were jolted first with reports that the Trojans and Bruins were pursuing a potential move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten, and before that possibility even had a chance to truly sink in it was official. At around 4:40 p.m. PT both schools formally announced the news on Twitter and with news releases that stated official Big Ten membership will begin in Aug. 2024. "Ultimately, the Big Ten is the best home for USC and Trojan athletics as we move into the new world of collegiate sports," USC athletic director Mike Bohn said in a statement.
